Want to adopt? check out this resource
I've heard so many people say they would love to adopt but can't afford it. Let's get to work making it possible. Today could be the day that changes the rest of your life - and the rest of a child's life.
I'm pleading with all Christian churches to help. As I've mentioned before, Catholic Charities often funds the adoptions of hard-to-place children (either because they're disabled, older kinds in foster care, or sibling groups).
Here is a great resource created by the founder of Wendy's, who was an adopted child himself. Click the banner to find many wonderful programs which can help you on your journey to adoption:
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to dramatically increasing the adoptions of the more than 140,000 children in North America's foster care systems ready and waiting to be adopted. Created by Wendy's founder Dave Thomas, who was adopted as a child, the Foundation spearheads programs such as Wendy's Wonderful Kids, which puts adoption recruiters in all 50 states and Canada to find permanent, loving families for children in the foster care system, and Adoption-Friendly Workplace, which encourages employers to offer adoption benefits to their employees. The Foundation also works with adoption advocates and officials to streamline the adoption process and make adoption more affordable for families. As the only foundation dedicated exclusively to foster care adoption, we are driven by Dave's simple value: Do what's best for the child.
