Davion Henry, 15, has been an orphan all of his life. He has been in an out of foster homes from birth. He made a public plea to be adopted by a family. Wow, I think back on how I took it for granted when I was growing up that I had a home and a family. To not have a family was completely out of my realm of consideration. It never entered my mind in any lasting way that there are people out there who would give almost anything to have even a dysfunctional family.
Davion
stated,
"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."
Can you
imagine that all he wants are simple things? The things most of us take for granted
as we are raising our children. He wants
a bed to call his own and to be able to participate in school activities
without having to move all the time.
He also
stated,
"If you can, reach out and get me and love me until I
die. I'm praying and still hoping. I know God hasn't given up and I'm not
either."
"I just want people to know that it's hard to be a foster
kid. People sometimes don't know how hard it is and how much we try to do
good."
I feel so
much compassion for Davion and I hope one of the 10,000 requests to adopt works
out for him.
I intend to share
this story with my children.
I am sending
much love and light to Davion and all of the orphans that they may receive a
family that will love and care for them.
Love is such
a simple thing that we sometimes make complicated with judgment and many other
attributes.
--Much love.
