What inspired you to make a gift to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption?
I have personal experience with foster care and/or adoption and want to help others in their journey.
The Foundation is a national nonprofit public charity dedicated to finding permanent homes for the more than 140,000 children waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States and Canada.
The Foundation focuses specifically on finding forever families for children in foster care who are most often overlooked, including teenagers, children with special needs and siblings.
The Foundation’s signature program, Wendy’s Wonderful Kids (WWK), uses an evidence-based, child-focused recruitment model. This model has been proven to be up to 3x more effective in finding permanent homes for children who have been lingering in foster care the longest.
With its 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, I trust the Foundation to use my donation wisely.
The Foundation’s national awareness campaigns, innovative programs and free educational resources are supporting families on their adoption journey.

Which fact is most concerning to you?
More than 113,000 children are waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States.
Our nation’s child welfare system is being stretched far beyond its capacity as families are devastated by the opioid crisis and other issues.
Most adoption agencies don’t have enough staff and resources to give children waiting in foster care the time, resources and support they deserve. This is especially concerning for children who have been waiting in foster care the longest, including teenagers, children with special needs and siblings.
Every year, nearly 20,000 children age out of foster care without the safety net of a permanent, loving home each year. They are at a much higher risk of experiencing negative outcomes like homelessness and unemployment.
Which part of the Foundation’s signature program, WWK, is most important to you?
WWK focuses on helping children who have been in foster care the longest, such as teenagers, children with special needs and siblings.
The WWK program makes it possible for adoption recruiters to take on much smaller caseloads so they can spend more time getting to know the child and their individual needs.
The WWK program uses an evidence-based, child-focused recruitment model. This model has been proven to be up to 3x more effective in finding permanent homes for children who need our help the most.
