Planned Parenthood frequently purports to be about \u201cchoice,\u201d but only if the choice involves abortion. Although in 2018<\/a>, just .03% of their services included adoption referrals (and even this must be questioned, as the corporation’s idea of “adoption referrals” is highly suspect<\/a>), the abortion giant is frequently the recipient of lavish media and corporate support, while truly pro-life efforts like adoption get overlooked. Fast-food chain Wendy\u2019s and its partner, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, has at its heart the interests of the children who are frequently trotted out as “reasons to abort” — those who are in foster care waiting to be adopted. According to a previous Live Action News article<\/a>, “There are about 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. Just over 100,000 of them are eligible to be adopted, according to AdoptUSKids<\/a>, and will likely be adopted by their foster parents. The majority of children in the foster care system are waiting to be reunited with their birth families, who are taking steps to get their children back.”<\/p>\n

The Dave Thomas Foundation has its origins in being an advocacy group. Through their program, Wendy\u2019s Wonderful Kids, they help the more difficult-to-place children — those who are older, have special needs, or are part of a sibling group — find loving homes using evidenced-based<\/a>, child-focused methods. The Foundation is now seeking to go nationwide, and has partnered with Snapchat through the Cause Cup<\/a> program. Starting in May, the Cause Cups<\/a>\u00a0at participating Wendy’s will have a Snapcode that, when scanned, will donate $5 to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption — for a total of up to $500,000. The donations will help bring the program to all 50 states and DC by 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n
