Davion Navar Henry Only has spent his whole life in Florida’s foster (收养的) care system. His mother was in prison when he was born, and when he did an Internet search for her name in June this year he learned she'd died just a few weeks earlier. He's been moved from here to there throughout his childhood without ever finding somewhere he really belongs. As a teenager now, Davion is starting to feel like he is running out of time—at risk of becoming one of the more than 23,000 youths each year who simply“age out”of the foster care system at age 18 or older and are left on their own without ever finding a family connection.

Davion decided to take his future into his own hands and asked his caseworker if she could help him speak at a church. She made arrangements at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. PetersBurg, Florida. There, as the article reported, the shy teenager who worked hard to get A so far this year in everything but geometry(几何学) and would love to play football if he had someone to drive him to practice, stood at the pulpit（讲道坛) and asked if "someone, anyone" could adopt him.

Davion's story quickly is shared on social media networks and websites around the country. He appears on national television and there is wonderful news to report. More than 10,000 families want to adopt him. Davion's story has raised awareness of adoption everywhere, but it's important to remember that there are thousands more Davion out there. Davion tells the reporter who first shared his story in a follow up interview: "I know what it’s like to have nobody, with no Light at the end of the road. no one who wants you. I just keep saying, 'There is only one me. But all my friends, all the other guys at the group home, all those other kids need families too.' I just hope they don't give up and that someone gives them a chance."
