Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

About Us

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is dedicated to finding forever families for the more than 150,000 children waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States and Canada. The Foundation works closely with child welfare advocates and policymakers, provides free adoption journey resources, and raises awareness through social media, ad campaigns, public service announcements and events.

With help from our caring donors, we are urgently working to expand the reach of our national awareness campaigns and signature programs.
