Established in 1992, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption<\/a> is devoted to helping find adoptive homes for children currently in foster care. Dave Thomas himself was adopted, so throughout his life, Dave spread the word about adoption and encouraged folks to consider foster care adoption. Unfortunately Dave passed away in 2002, but his legacy lives on with DTFA and Wendy’s. [Yep, Dave Thomas was also the founder of Wendy’s!]<\/p>\n

There are many ways you can get involved with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, such as by donating money<\/a>, starting a DTFA kickball team<\/a>, or supporting them at Wendy’s<\/a>. [Psst… most of the ways to support DTFA at Wendy’s involve a Frosty?yum!]<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

Another way you can get involved and learn more about adoption this month is to watch the CBS special “A Home for the Holidays.”<\/a> Presented in association with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and the Children’s Action Network, this show features heartwarming stories about adoptive families, along with performances from popular artists. The 16th annual “A Home for the Holidays” will include entertainment from Jennifer Hudson, Train, Earth Wind & Fire, Rixton, Katharine McPhee, Ashley Monroe, Dan & Shay, and Jillian Michaels. Tune in on Friday, 19 December at 9pm ET\/PT to catch this uplifting television special. Perhaps watching this will become a new holiday tradition for you.<\/p>\n
