"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nThis story just cracked my heart in half, y'alls: Two weeks ago, Davion Navar Henry Only, 15, stood in front of his Florida church in a suit and tie and begged for a nice family to adopt him. Only, who has been in the foster care system for his entire life, was born in jail. Last summer, he discovered that his birth mother had passed away.While Davion had exhibited behavioral problems in the past, he worked all summer on being an ideal adoptive son: He lost 40 pounds, learned how to deal with his anger, and got As in school before speaking in front of his church.\"I'll take anyone. Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.\"Sadly, a child's chances of being adopted after the age of nine are significantly smaller \u2014 in fact, fewer than ten percent of children adopted from foster care are 14 to 17 years old.If I weren't a 26-year-old single woman who still doesn't really know how to cook or what a 401K is, I'd adopt the hell out of this boy. Please share this with anyone who might have room for this boy in their homes and hearts. The good news is the church has been flooded with requests for adopting Davion, but more can never hurt! It's just like The Blind Side! I'll be over here, sobbing.From the Tampa Bay Times:  If you want more information about Davion \u2014 or any of the 120 foster children in Pinellas and Pasco who are waiting for families \u2014 call Eckerd at (866) 233-0790.
