A Forever Family
A stable family can create a healthy foundation to help kids reach their full potential, but finding that stability can be difficult for children in foster care. Our First Look this week explores Delaware’s foster care system, and along the way we meet a young girl transitioning from foster care to “a forever family.”

Ninja Therapy
A physical therapist at A.I. Dupont Hospital for Children made it to the Philadelphia city finals in ‘American Ninja Warrior,’ a show where competitors run through a gauntlet of extreme obstacles. Greg Fleming hasn’t made it all the way yet, but he’s using his ninja skills to help his clients get back to fighting shape.
