Foster Care Adoption Grows Family by Five

May 8, 2017 10:00 AM ET

The Hemmelgarn family has adopted two sibling groups (five children!) from foster care. They finalized the adoption of their youngest son on April 27. We love when siblings find their forever home together. #ItsWorthIt

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is committed to dramatically increasing the number of adoptions from foster care. The Foundation funds grants to adoption agencies through its signature program Wendy’s Wonderful Kids. Agencies use those dollars to hire adoption recruiters who are specially trained by the Foundation in our child-focused recruitment model. It’s up to three times more effective in finding homes for older children, sibling groups and children with special needs.
