A Texas boy made quite an impression during an interview with a local television station recently, when he showed up wearing his Sunday best for the opportunity to someday gain a forever family.
But it wasn’t just the suit that set this child apart — when he opened his mouth, he spoke of his faith saying he’s sure there’s a family out there that fits him ‘in the best possible way’.
His name is Jonah, 12. He sat down with WFAA-TV in Dallas to be featured on the station’s “Wednesday’s Child” segment, regular reports that “offer a glimpse into a child’s life in foster care who wants more than anything to be adopted.”
In a Twitter post, the station promised, “We guarantee you haven’t met a person like 12-year-old Jonah.”
He told the station — God “brought me through many, many things. As far as abuse, before I came to CPS, he brought me through a lot…just, a lot, overall.”
Jonah credits the Lord for blessing him despite what he’s been through.
He said — “Waking me up this morning, you know what I mean? Starting me on my way, I’m in my right mind, I know what I’m doing, I know who I am, and I’m proud of the person that I am.”
When asked about why he wore a suit to the interview, Jonah explained, “Well, I felt I needed to be proper in the most way that I could.”
