I often joke that I have been taken off the mother of the year award list.  My hubby however is very much in the running for father of the year.  Not because he is perfect (he isn’t, but close!) but because he is just an all around great dad.  I am very much appreciative of all he does for our family; camping with the kids, reading books aloud (his second time for Harry Potter) and keeping me sane and much more.

As you know our lives has been touched by older child adoption. There are many older kids needed homes all around the world.  The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a wonderful organization that promotes older child adoption and adoption from foster care.  Although our family did not adopt from the U.S. we have gotten great information and resources from this Foundation.  I  used materials from them to ask Genesis to provide adoption benefits for their employees and Genesis is now offering $4,000 towards adoption costs!

This Father’s Day weekend Wendy’s will donate money to the Dave Thomas Foundation with each Frosty that is bought.  They even have Father’s Day E-Cards that they will send for you and donate 25 cents with each card.

Be sure to have a frosty this weekend and help kids find families to love them.  Wouldn’t it be great if every child had a reason to celebrate Father’s Day?
