Davion Only,15, Makes Emotional Plea For a Family to Adopt Him
Davion Navar Henry Only has been waiting for a family all of his life and he recently decided to take matters into his own hands. He has only one desire for his prospective family: “to love me forever.”
Davion, 15, has been in foster care his whole life, but has never had a family. On a recent Sunday in October, he stood in front of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, FL., and made a public plea for a family.
“I’ll take anyone,” Davion said. “Old or young, dad or mom, Black, white, purple. I don’t care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.”
The plea has garnered national attention that Davion hopes will help him finally find a family.
“If you can, reach out and get me and love me until I die,” Davion told ABC News.
“I’m praying and still hoping,” he said. “I know God hasn’t given up and I’m not either.”
Back in June, equipped with a copy of his birth certificate, Davion went to a library and searched his birth mother’s name online. He had been born while she was in jail. He found out that she had a criminal background that included drugs and theft. He also found her obituary. She had died just a few weeks earlier.
Meet Tobias Bass: 10-Year-Old Writes Moving Letter to Help Sick Brother
Tobias Bass, 10, got his selfless wish to be the legs for his brother Titus, who has cerebral palsy, and push him in a 5K race. All of this was possible because of Tobias’ compassionate letter written to a local Oklahoma television station. Tobias reached out to News 9, not for money, fame or a handout, but because he wanted the station to ask their viewers if anyone had a jogger pusher that he could borrow. Tobias wants his big brother to run the race with him.
In October, he wrote about how sad it makes him when he sees his brother staring out through the window at kids running and laughing and having fun, and how he just wants him to experience what everyone else can.
This kid is amazing, and you can see every piece of his heart in the television interview — he even wants to be an army pastor when he grows up so he can comfort men dying on the front lines.
