Central Missouri Foster Care & Adoption Association

Devin is a really special kid with a big heart and a love for adventure! He gives the warmest hugs and is great at cuddling. Even though he sometimes struggles with anger, he’s working hard to manage his feelings, showing just how strong he is. Devin loves school, and he has a sweet bond with his foster family’s dogs and siblings. His favorite place to be is outdoors, whether he’s swimming or exploring nature. He’s also super smart and can easily play tough video and board games. Devin loves teaming up with his favorite characters like the Hulk and Spidey. His imagination really shines, and he looks up to heroes who show strength and kindness. He’s a unique kid with so much potential and a huge love for adventure!

A Nintendo Switch would be an incredible gift for Devin. It would bring him joy and a sense of independence as he continues to grow. As a foster child, Devin has been putting in a lot of effort to learn self-regulation, and he's really making strides. Having his own Switch would give him a sense of ownership and provide a healthy way to unwind when he needs some quiet time. In his foster home, he often joins in with other kids who already have Switches, and he loves those moments of playing together. However, having his own console would mean he could enjoy that same fun while also having the option to step back and recharge when he needs some solitude. For Devin, the Switch wouldn’t just be a gaming device; it would be a valuable tool for his growth, helping him find a safe way to self-regulate while also feeling included with others. It's about supporting him in a way that respects his need for personal space.
