Orchard Software Recognized as an Adoption Advocate by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption®

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national, nonprofit public charity dedicated to finding forever families for the more than 140,000 children waiting to be adopted from foster care in the United States and Canada. Through its signature program, Wendy’s Wonderful Kids®️, the Foundation supports the hiring of adoption professionals, known as recruiters, who serve children most at risk of aging out of foster care without a permanent home.

More than 30 years ago, Dave Thomas led an initiative advocating for better adoption benefits in the workplace, because to him, it was just “the right thing to do.” The Foundation has carried that legacy forward through the Adoption-Friendly Workplace program.

For 17 years, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption has surveyed employers across the United States to create its 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list, recognizing organizations with the most robust adoption benefits programs. Additionally, another 72 organizations have been acknowledged as an Adoption Advocate.

“Adoption is an amazing, rewarding experience, which can be costly and time intensive. Adoption benefits help to remove the barriers of affordability and time off from work that many adoptive parents face,” says Rita Soronen, President & CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. “By establishing an adoption benefits policy, Orchard Software is making it easier for employees to consider adopting.”
