Darci's Story
Over 20 years ago, Friends of Adoption member Darci was introduced to the Foundation after watching the CBS show, A Home for the Holidays with her mom, who was adopted. The show became their annual tradition, and it inspired Darci to seek free resources available on the Foundation’s website to become an adoptive parent herself.
Friends of Adoption Member Spotlight:
Thomas Egg and Robert Aldrich
If you can’t adopt a child, the next best thing is to help charities like the Foundation put children together with forever families. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I learned that foster children essentially pack a garbage bag when they move from one foster home to another. It’s heartbreaking to think about it. Ultimately, the choice turned out to be an easy one for us, and we look forward to continuing to help fund the good work the Foundation does.”
