A 16-year-old in foster care whose plea to be adopted went viral in 2013 has finally found a home. His adoption case worker, who has known him since he was 7, will become his adoptive mother this month.

In October 2013, Davion Only spoke in front of a church congregation in St. Petersburg, Florida, and made an appeal for adoption. He had recently learned that his biological mother, who’d been in jail since Only was born, had died. He’d spent years bouncing between foster homes. “My name is Davion and I’ve been in foster care since I was born,” he said. “I know God hasn’t given up on me, so I’m not giving up either.”

here we go
because she's white

you'd rather him rot in a foster home being angry feeling unloved than to be raised by a white woman

disgusting

That is what you stated... Not I....

I am disappointed that he wasn't adopted into a Black family, but I am happy that he got his wish to be adopted...

One thing about this though, who was his father and where are his extended relatives... Why was that avenue closed?
