HRC Foundation Youth Ambassador Reflects on the Power of Adoption, Acceptance and Family
HRC Foundation Youth Ambassador Reflects on the Power of Adoption, Acceptance and Family
This November, HRC celebrated National Adoption Month. This year, the celebration focused on older youth in foster care waiting for adoption and how critical it is to do better at finding permanent families for older youth in care.
The research on the positive impact of adoption for older youth in foster care is clear. Older youth who are adopted are more likely to complete high school, go to college and be more emotionally secure than their peers who remain in care.
HRC Foundation Youth Ambassador Thomas Davis, who himself was adopted, knows firsthand the positive impact of finding a permanent family and how adoptive families can best support LGBTQ youth.
“(Adoptive families) have the power to change this kid’s life,” he said.
No matter what age, he continued, “Each child deserves to be loved and find a home regardless of how old they are.”
Thomas had specific advice for foster or adoptive parents on how to best support an LGBTQ youth.
“Listen when you don’t understand and seek out help from someone that can assist them if they do not know how to support LGBTQ youth,” he explained.
While some non-LGBT prospective parents in particular may worry about their capacity to raise an LGBTQ youth, Thomas encouraged them not to let those worries get in their way of providing a home for a young person in need.
“LGBTQ youth have other issues going on beside the fact that they are LGBTQ,” he explained. “If you help them meet other needs they will be able to cope with being LGBTQ easier.”
This November, HRC is proud to celebrate National Adoption Month. Throughout the month, HRC will recognize the adoption agencies that participate in our All Children – All Families Project, demonstrating their commitment to improving outcomes for LGBTQ youth in foster care, and welcoming and supporting LGBT families.
Stay tuned to HRC blog throughout the month for more adoption stories.

Open Question: Was what I said the right thing to do?
Open Question: Was what I said the right thing to do?
My grandma was talking about religion and one thing led to another she started talking about being gay. She says it’s a choice and making gay marriage legal was the worst thing that could happen. I dont really know about the bible but what she said just pissed me off. If I had a secret and I knew if I told anyone something bad might happen to me I would keep that **** a secret. I’m glad that everyone can be happy with themselves and the people they love. Their sexual interest is not her concern anyway. I told her this and I got in trouble by all of my family calling me disrespectful. This is what I said” I don’t think thats right to say. It’s not a choice .I won’t let you tell me false statements because what God said. Your religion can suck all the people who are homosexuals ***.”
