Meet Deven:
In July of 2012 we were approached by our friends who were fostering Deven and told that he needed a forever home. We met him, prayed about adopting him, and decided to move forward with an adoption plan. We moved to a larger house and waited for approval from Social Services. Because of some circumstances beyond our control, Deven was placed in another home. He had good parents, but didn't quite fit with their family, so they decided not to adopt him.
We got a call on November 6th saying that Deven was available for adoption and needed a new home as soon as possible. We brought him home on November 14th.
We have had him in our home for three days now and have loved every minute.
We are technically his foster parents. In about 3 months we will be able to apply to be his pre-adoptive placement. Then, 6 months after that, we can file the paperwork to adopt him.
So, I would like you to meet our son:
Deven is a 6 year old who is ALL boy. He loves legos, blocks, trucks, balls, and castles. Frogs are his favorite animal and green his favorite color. He is a great artist and has already plastered his room with his artwork. He is very considerate of Ari but doesn't like her knocking down his buildings :)
He has had a rough start in life and has some special needs, but tries his best and brings a wonderful spirit into our home.
