GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Davion is 16-years-old and fancies himself a mechanic. He's already fixed bikes and brakes. “He is very into fixing things,” says a person close to him. “He likes to take them apart and figure how they work.”
Davion doesn’t spend all his time in the garage, though, and enjoys riding bikes and horses as well as playing video games about shooting and racing. Davion also enjoys playing card games such as UNO.
When it’s dinnertime, Davion is ready for pasta aplenty since his favorite foods include mac ’n cheese and spaghetti served on dishes of red and blue, his favorite colors.
After dinner, Davion might enjoy a game of catch since baseball is his favorite sport, although he likes basketball and football as well and follows the Detroit Lions and Tigers.
Since he is an athletic and energetic boy, Davion dreams of one day riding bikes with a future forever family. “Davion remains very eager to find an adoptive family,” says one of the people who knows him well and adds he’d likely fit in well. “He’s really personable and bubbly.”
Davion has made great strides in his outlook and ability to interact with others. He manages himself very well and benefits from structure and routine. Davion generally does well in school and enjoys computer and gym class the best.
Because Davion thrives on one-on-one attention, he would do best with two experienced parents in a home in which he is the youngest or only child. His new parents should be patient and understanding with Davion, who responds best to “a calm demeanor” by adults. Davion also will need some time to transition into his new adoptive home. Finally, Davion likes pets and benefits from having one.
