Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

Can the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption match me with a child?

Unfortunately, we cannot match prospective parents with children in foster care. DTFA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public charity and not an agency certified to have custody of children or to match families. Our mission is broader: to dramatically increase adoptions of the 137,000 children in North America’s foster care systems who are waiting to be adopted. The Foundation leads signature national service programs, such as Wendy’s Wonderful Kids and Adoption-Friendly Workplace. We also work to simplify the adoption process and make adoption more affordable for families. We are the only foundation dedicated exclusively to foster care adoption, and it is our vision that every child will have a loving family and a permanent home.
