I was heartbroken. The doctor’s words pierced my soul, and I was shattered. Would I never become a mother? Would I never be called “Mom”?
During my grief of infertility, my amazing husband reiterated his faith: “There’s a child out there that is our child; a child that may already have been born; a child that needs us to be his parents.” I shook my head in disbelief with tears flowing down my face.
I didn’t realize how right he was —
Did you know that more than 100,000 children in foster care wait for a family?
In 2007, we licensed our home and opened it to children that needed a family, whether for a while or forever. During that time, we have been parents to 16 children, some for a while — and two FOREVER!!!
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® believes that we all have a responsibility to be the voice of foster care adoption, so that every child finds a family.
You don’t have to become a foster parent, or adopt a child in order to help children in foster care find families!
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption® exists to find homes for the 100,000 children who are waiting to be adopted from foster care in North America.
