This is the perfect time for someone to take him in. He is a good student and the right family could really catapult him to success. He clearly just wants a support system. If I could I would definitely adopt someone like him. It would be like having a child and they become grown and leave the house in 3 years(which is usually the number of years it takes for a parent to start calculating how many more years do they have left before their children leave).
That tax credit

As long as my future husband is okay with it, adoption is something I seriously want to do in the future.

Florida Orphan Davion Only Spending Christmas With Prospective Family
Just months ago, orphan Davion Only made an impassioned plea for a family that spawned more than 10,000 offers from around the world.
This Christmas, the Florida teen's dream will come true.
Watch Davion Only's Plea For A Family
Only, 15, recently moved in with a prospective family with whom he will spend the holidays, Terri Durdaller, a spokesperson for Eckerd, the Florida adoption agency handling Davion's case, told ABC News.
"He is enjoying getting to know the family," Durdaller said.
She said identifying a "forever family" for the teen is a "step by step progression."
"Our first priority is ensuring that Davion builds a strong relationship and has a successful adoption with his forever family," she said.
While Eckerd knows there is interest in the teen's happily ever after story, Durdaller said no other information would be released for the time being as Davion and his new family get to know each other.
Teen Wants Family 'To Love Me Forever'
Only has been in foster care his whole life, but has never had a family. In October, he stood in front of St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla., and made a public plea for a familythat captured hearts around the world.
"I'll take anyone," Only 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 and Eckerd told ABCNews.com in October that it had fielded over 10,000 requests from people asking to adopt the teen.
The requests poured in from across the country and around the world, including calls from Canada, India, Mexico, Australia, Great Britain and Iran.
The agency said it told people in the U.S. outside of Florida to contact their local foster care services because "there are Davions in every city in America."

That's the attitude of a lot of adopting parents which made that original story extra sad. A lot of them want cute babies that they think won't be a fuss and could be 'theirs'. Teenagers come with their own lives and thoughts and feelings.
Not only harsh but an unnecessary thing to say about a kid who has done nothing but ask for a family.
I could adopt him as long as he keeps his face in the damn books and gets a scholarship. And as longas he brushes his damn head for once.
Truth is, nobody is adopting teenagers. I'd rather adopt black babies if I had to adopt.

Damn, the lengths of what people will say for some daps. Hopefully he find a permanent family because he has a good heart and from what it looks like with his grades he has a lot of potential.

I'm disgusted by some of the response. This little dude is just looking for someone to encourage him, help him nurture and grow into a contributing member of society.
I hate to hear homie have to go through that. I wonder who would be willingto trade places with him for a day?

It's state to state fees for stuff if using a private company vs state agency. The good thing about state agencies though is you usually get $300-$600/month to help out. That's why there are so many foster home scams to get the cash.
