A 16-year-old in foster care has finally found a home. His adoption caseworker (社會(huì)工作者), 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 (會(huì)眾) in St. Petersburg, Florida, and made an ____ for adoption. He had recently learned that his ____ mother, who’d been in jail since Only was born, had died. He had 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.”

The ____ plea (懇求) went viral, and Only’s foster agency ____ calls from more than 10,000 people, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Only ____ traveling to Ohio to live with a minister’s family. But after Only got into a physical ____ with one of his older would-be siblings (兄弟姐妹), the minister and his wife changed their minds.

Back in Florida, Only passed through four different ____ homes over the next year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption caseworker, to make a special ____ .

Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him but she always ____. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there,” Going tells Yahoo Parenting. “He ____ so much in this world.”

But this past July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going says something felt ____ . “In adoption there is a ‘claiming moment,’ when you know someone is your child. When he called me to ask, in that moment, I just knew,” she says. “When he asked me, my heart felt this ____ and I just knew he was my son.”

So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time ____ the rest of her family — the other four children who she also adopted out of foster care. ____ , Going managed to rent a bigger home, got a lawyer, and started adoption ____ .

Only will officially join Going’s family on April 22, when the adoption ____ . “Today, I am feeling blessed and honored by being chosen to be the parent to all my children,” she says. “I work every day on being the best parent I can to them, to be patient and creative so that I can ____ all their needs.”

A spokesperson for Eckerd, Only’s foster agency, told the Tampa Bay Times they were ____ with the new development. “We are truly thrilled that Davion has been united with his forever family.“

While Going is waiting for the newest ____ to her family to become official in the eyes of the law, she says Only is already her child. “I want him to know he is ____ loved for who he is, the way he is,” she says. “The changes he chooses to make in his life, and the choices, are his to make. As a family we will be there through it all, the good and the bad for our lifetime. He is home.”
