The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption-CanadaTM is a registered charity dedicated to dramatically increasing the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems.
Children are placed in foster care after enduring abuse, neglect, parental drug use or other issues that have made their home unsafe. Many have experienced significant trauma, grief and loss in their lives. Right now, more than 30,000 of these young people in Canada are waiting for someone to step forward to adopt them.
As our founder, Dave Thomas, always said, “These children are not someone else’s responsibility. They are our responsibility.”
You can help. Learn more and spread the word about the critical need for foster care adoption.
I feel like I have a future now. Definitely 100% more than I did before. I know that I have people that are actually going to be there for me.
From raising awareness, to donating, to organizing a fundraiser, there are many ways to get involved to make a difference.
“These children are not someone else’s responsibility. They are our responsibility.”
We offer free, educational resources for parents and professionals.
Pippa spent more than eight years in foster care after enduring severe abuse and neglect early in her life. Thankfully, her journey changed when she was adopted by Crystal and Jessica through the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption-Canada’s Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program, in partnership with the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto. Now, with the support of a loving, forever family, Pippa is thriving, growing and gaining confidence every day.
