He's also a big fan of the Christmas season; Devin said, "I like Christmas because you can enjoy being with your family, with your friends. The point of Christmas is not just the presents, it's your family too. The family is the biggest thing that people really want, the adults in your family really want you to know, they care about you."

Devin's looking for a family that can care for him and guide him to his bright future.
