ABOUT THE LIST

Employers who complete our adoption benefits survey are considered for the list. The primary ranking criteria is the maximum amount of financial reimbursement per adoption, including any additional support for special needs adoption. The secondary criteria is the maximum amount of fully or partially paid leave for adoption. Employers with the combination of both criteria rank higher than those with just one. 

2009 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List

Each year, the Foundation announces a list of employers with the best adoption benefits in the nation.

Rankings are based on the maximum amount of financial reimbursement and paid leave for employees who adopt. Honorees include the top 100, the top ten by size and the top five in each industry.

Employee Brenda Overturf and husband Ron appreciated Wendy's benefits when they adopted siblings Jimmy and Regina. She says, "Because people might be afraid of the expense and time involved in adoption, employers can change the life of a child by simply offering adoption benefits."

Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption's executive director, Rita Soronen, presents the #1 award to Wendy's International president, David Karam. Wendy's offers a generous combination of up to $24,300 financial reimbursement and up to six weeks paid leave for employees who adopt.
