Are Children Unadoptable?

Children in foster care are unadoptable. They're troublemakers, unlovable, underachievers, uneducated and will never amount to anything. 

These are just some of the stereotypes that foster kids have to face everyday. These stigmas steer possible adoptive parents from looking at great kids that are currently in the foster care system. It is these stereotypes that our organizations fights against everyday in order to secure forever families for every child.  

 The Dave Thomas Foundation is another agency that is also working towards finding adoptive parents for children in foster care. 

 The foundation utilizes five main programs in order to make sure that all the "unadoptable" kids are adopted because just like the movie says "unadoptable is unacceptable." Their signature program is Wendy's wonderful kids, which has recruiters working for children throughout the U.S.A. and Canada by using aggressive practices and tactics all in the name of finding the best home for a child. Their case workers have a very small amount of cases in order to create bigger focus on the child then they would have received normally. We are proud to say that AFFEC we work closely with many of Wendy's wonderful kids recruiters to help them place children with families in our networks.


The Dave Thomas Foundation, AFFEC and many organizations across the country all share the same focus of finding forever families for all children. We believe that every child deserves to be loved no matter what age, how many siblings they have, what their GPA is, or where they came from. 


So no, there is NO such thing as an unadoptable child.
