The Dave Thomas Foundation was founded in 1992 to raise awareness of, and support for, adoption. Its annual list of adoption-friendly workplaces is determined by an analysis of company adoption benefits, including both financial reimbursement and paid leave.

In addition to helping parents during the adoption process, providing post-adoption support can make a significant contribution to ability of adoptive families to bond, identify potential problems, and overcome challenges in a unified manner.
