Fostering Engagement

Fostering Engagement’s mission is to inform and educate communities about ways they can support foster and adopted children and those who care for them.

[Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption @DTFA]

#DYK Dave Thomas, founder of @Wendys, was adopted. He used his platform as a successful businessman to advocate for children in #FosterCare and established the Foundation in 1992.

We are honored to carry on his legacy ❤️

This is hard to do but oh so necessary.

3️⃣: Empathy first. Use empathy before problem-solving. Acknowledge and re-state the child’s emotions. The experience of being heard can help to calm a child, and problem-solving can wait until the child is out of a crisis. (4/5)

CASA Andrea was appointed to a 9-yr-old girl who has been in child welfare for more than half of her life. The girl shared that she does not have any visitors then asked CASA Andrea to hold her hand saying, “I always wanted a person like you!” #BeACASA https://t.co/NOXDOaRxBf

The Supreme Court hears arguments on a religious freedom case with enormous stakes for #childwelfare, and perhaps for gov't contracting in general https://t.co/PZ1gSSSsgD

[Fostering Engagement @FosteringEngage]

@dheimpel I think we should respect their religious beliefs. If they are not allowed to let their religious conviction guide their nonprofit, they will likely shutter their doors and that would, in the end, mean fewer homes for children in need.

Adoption preparedness begins w being trauma-informed. Parents who educate themselves on the effects of trauma will better understand the great needs their adopted child will require to heal & grow.

Maya and Hannah spent six years in #FosterCare as their parents battled addiction.

In 2017, they were adopted through our Wendy's Wonderful Kids program. The sisters bravely shared their #AdoptionStory because they want other children to be adopted, too.
