A young boy wants to thank his stepfather for stepping in when his father passes away in the September 23rd premiere of NBC's "Three Wishes." With the help of contractor Eric Stromer, they award the stepdad with a brand new Ford truck--but the wish doesn't stop there. The "Three Wishes" team lends a hand in pushing through the paperwork so that the young boy can be legally adopted by his stepfather.
