Required reading: Why is Davion still not adopted?

A follow-up story on whatever became of that young man who wanted to be adopted:

"My name is Davion," he said softly. "And I've been in foster care since I was born."
Davion Navar Henry Only, 15, told the church full of strangers he never knew his real family. "But I know God hasn't given up on me," he said softly. "I just hope he finds me a home — and a family."
The Tampa Bay Times story was picked up by news outlets across the world. Davion's plea to be adopted was featured onGood Morning America and Al Jazeera America and in People.Producers flew him to New York to talk to Barbara Walters onThe View.
And 10,000 people from across the globe called to ask about helping or adopting him.
