In Ohio, recruiters help older kids in foster care find forever familiy
Samantha, in the yellow dress, on her adoption day. The Dave Thomas Foundation is celebrating reaching 13,000 adoptions in both the United States and Canada.
Aaron McGregor, a nurse from Mansfield, said a colleague first told her about 15-year-old Samantha in 2020, as she and her husband were beginning the process of applying for a foster care license. McGregor explained that Samantha was born without some of her organs and was placed in foster care as a toddler because of medical neglect. She said Samantha's recruiter, Amy, set up their first meeting.
Federal data show the adoption rate drops significantly for kids older than 9. According to the Dave Thomas Foundation, its Wendy's Wonderful Kids Program is responsible for more than 13,000 successful adoptions across the United States and Canada."Day to day, she has a lot of medical needs, but we already have a lot of experience with that, so we do receive help with nursing services and things like that," McGregor said."And me being a nurse definitely helps the situation.
