Rhianna's Story (Canada) | Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption

Placed in foster care at just 2 months old due to neglect, Rhianna spent the next 15 years of her life waiting for a family to adopt her. Thankfully, her journey changed when she was adopted by Reegan through the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption-Canada’s Wendy’s Wonderful Kids program, in partnership with the Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto.
The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national nonprofit public charity dedicated to finding permanent families for the thousands of children waiting in North America’s foster care systems. Created by Wendy’s® founder Dave Thomas, who was adopted, the Foundation implements evidence-based, results-driven national service programs, foster care adoption awareness campaigns and innovative grantmaking.

Wow I can't imagine growing up knowing that your mom was a failure and that you're just "on loan" to some caretakers. Especially the part about her not liking birthdays because she'd be one year closer to aging out of foster care. How terrible! Poor girl. I'm glad she found a home. No kid should have to go through this.
