Adoption

Program Overview:

The adoption program's main focus is finding permanent families for children, including special needs children with developmental or physical handicaps, large sibling groups of three or more, older and minority children of any age. Local adoptive families in need of home studies or post placement assistance also are welcome to contact the department about these services.

Tabor Children’s Services is the local adoption partner for Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, a signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. The program combines the fundraising efforts of Wendy’s and its customers, results-driven grant management by the Foundation, and the talent of seasoned adoption recruiters. The foundation awards grants to public and private adoption organizations across the nation to find permanent, loving adoptive families for thousands of children waiting in foster care.
