Dalton and Dawson – Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption
nnAt the age of 7, Dawson lived in fear that he and his older brother Dalton wouldn’t get the chance to grow up together because they were floundering in foster care.nnAdoption would be difficult because Dalton has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, is nonverbal, and a quadriplegic. Although several families were interested in Dawson, he was worried that finding a forever home could lead to separation.nnThankfully, with help from the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Florida parents Robbin and Steven, the boys are now together—and thriving.nnWhen Dawson first arrived at his new Florida home, he was in second grade, yet had a reading level of a kindergartner. But with the love and security provided for him and his brother, the boy began to flourish.nn“The light clicked, and it was game on,” said his mom. “He reached the honor roll for four straight semesters.”nnToday, Robbin gushes that she couldn’t have asked for two better sons.nn“Dawson is the person he is because he got the opportunity to keep his brother. It’s half of him—that’s his heart.”nn
