Many toddlers in foster care develop anxiety and separation attachment disorders when they are moved to numerous homes. These are critical years for the development and foundation for feeling secure within ourselves and trusting of our caregivers. It is truly a Blessing the Creator placed Josiah at this young age with your family , and CPS supported the process. When I worked in Child Protective Services , it was always a joy when we found forever homes .

The world will try to tell you that you made a mistake and some would say how could you accept that child of another race and even give you ugly stares. The world is becoming so dark but when I saw your story I realized that there is still hope because of people like you and people like me that want to love people well, I loved that you said that. My prayers is that God will continue to give you strength and courage to do everything he has put in your path, your sister in Christ.💕

With all the evil in the world, God’s light shines bright on earth. Not only did he give you Josiah, he also kept his sisters in his life. He is in control. He does not see color or gender. He sees our hearts. He is a big God. Heaven is his throne and the earth is his footstool. I pray for a Christian producer to see your video and make your story a movie for the world to see. This story has encouraged my faith. Many continued blessings to your entire family. Give Josiah a hug for me.

One day I wrote this for him, this is for anyone who opens there heart to a child and loves them like there own. I may not have gave birth to you. But I love you just the same. God bless you all. Javeon’s Poem I may not have gave birth to you But I love you just the same When you showed up, are whole lives seem to change. I believe God blessed us with you. Not only for us to be there for you, But for you to touch and teach us to. We love to see you smile & laugh. And teaching you to walk, talk, and play Is not a hard task. Fore God knew what he was doing. When he brought you to us, and us to you. And just thinking about the days ahead. Of you going to church, and starting school. Learning to read, tying your shoes. I thank God for bringing, You to us, and us to you. And when you’ve grown up, and become a man. Being what you want to be, giving life all you can. Don’t really think about us. Give love and thanks to God, fore he’s the one that brought, You to us, and us to you.
