Jonathon's Adoption Story
May 16th, 2024 was the day Jonathon waited 3,652 days for. He was placed into the system at 5 years old. For 10 years, it was placement after placement—residential after residential. Now at 15 years old, he found the perfect fit.
Randy Laxton and Caitlyn Lewis from Mercer County have been taking on teen foster kids since 2022. After two years with them, the young couple adopted Johnathon. On this day in May, they officially became a family.
