The 21st Annual A Home for the Holidays, is an entertainment special celebrating the joys of adoption. The special will air on Sunday, December 22nd at 9/8c on CBS. Each year, the Dave Thomas Foundation works with CBS to offer a heartwarming, hour-long television show spotlighting waiting older children. This televised event features performances from popular musical artists, while celebrating families whose lives have been changed through adoption. This year the event will be hosted by Idina Menzel with performances by Adam Lambert, NE-YO, and Kelly Rowland. A Home for the Holidays features uplifting stories of adoption from foster care and raises awareness of this important social issue.

The Dave Thomas Foundation is the brainchild of the well-known adoptee, Dave Thomas, founder of the popular food enterprise, Wendy’s.  Through this organization’s dedication to the well-being and adoption of foster children, thousands of families have obtained information on adoption, especially older child adoptions.
