Chris was in and out of foster care before being referred to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption’s Wendy's Wonderful Kids program. This program finds loving, permanent homes for children who have been waiting in foster care the longest. Using our Child-Focused Recruitment Model, his adoption recruiter found the Newton family, who knew there was a need for more families willing to adopt older children.

On March 27th, Chris joined his forever family. Now, the Newtons want Chris to experience life to the fullest, exposing him to opportunities he may not have had, so that he can find his passions and reach his goals. #ItsWorthIt
