About Devin
It’s easy to describe Devin as a straight-laced, straight-talking and straight-forward young man. You could even add debonair to Devin’s descriptors. He loves basketball, and if he slam-dunked on an opponent, Devin would likely give him a tilt of the head, an infectious smile and a shrug of the shoulders with his palms up. Devin wants to play basketball for a living as an adult, but he also enjoys playing football. “He loves to play sports with his friends at his local recreation center,” says one of Devin’s close adults. In fact, Devin lists playing basketball and spending time with friends as two of his favorite things to do. Spending time outdoors is another one of Devin’s favorite activities, and he especially enjoys going to the park on weekends. If his dream of being a professional athlete doesn't work out, Devin hopes to become a gym teacher and share his love of athletics with kids. His list of favorite things includes soul food and pizza for food, blue and green for color, lions for animals and gym for subject in school. When it’s time for dismissal, Devin loves getting home so he can play basketball and go to the park. If you ask him the most important thing others should know about him, Devin says “that I am a good person.” Devin says he hopes his new family enjoys shooting hoops and going on family trips.
“Devin is a wonderful young man who is very respectful and easy to talk to,” says one of the adults close to him. “Devin is helpful when needed and is willing to go above and beyond for others. He is protective of the people he loves and is extremely considerate of others. Devin is very accepting and does not judge others. He treats everyone the same and thinks all people should be accepted.”
A mom and dad or two male parents would be a good fit for Devin. A forever family must make sure Devin gets the services he needs to thrive. His new parent or parents should be experienced, patient, strong, supportive and understanding. Parents that have experience with teens would be a definite plus! Devin can be placed in a family with or without other children, and he’d do well in a home that has a dog. Lastly, Devin has expressed a preference for a family who lives in a more urban environment.
