Business & HR Leader
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is committed to breaking down barriers for families pursuing adoption.
We encourage business leaders and human resource professionals to advocate for adoption and foster care benefits in the workplace and offer a free toolkit to help develop their policies.
In addition to becoming an adoption-friendly workplace, you can help educate your colleagues about the urgent need for foster care adoption and raise critical funds to sustain our work. Read and share the employee adoption stories and leadership quotes featured on the Foundation’s website and social media channels to inspire others.
