Since I believe home is so much more than just a place to decorate, I wanted to share with you some information today related to adoption.
If you’re new to our story you can read more about it here, but in a nutshell we were called to adopt through the foster care system in 2000. While we had expressed an interest in one child (we already had two biological children) God had other plans!
When a sibling group of three children walked into our lives, we knew that no matter our own fears, God’s plans were greater.
Although this road hasn’t been easy, I know that we all have been challenged and changed by the gift of adoption.
In 1990, Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy’s®, accepted President George H.W. Bush’s invitation to be the spokesperson for a national adoption awareness campaign. Just two years later, Dave established The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® as a non-profit public charity with one primary goal: to help every child in foster care find a loving, permanent family.
If you’re like me you’ve heard of Dave Thomas’ devotion to foster care adoption. But did you know that there are more than 100,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption?
As an adoptive mom I know how important and life changing it is to be part of an adoption story. For 22 years, Wendy’s® has supported foster care adoption. Thanks to Wendy’s® consumers and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®, 4,000+ children have found adoptive families.

There is no greater gift than opening up your home to a child who deserves a second chance in life. Our youngest two adopted children have come so far and as our last teenagers, we’re savoring these days before they flee the nest.
