Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Dave Thomas

Dave's biological father was named Sam and his biological mom was named Molly, but he doesn't know much else about them. He was adopted a short time after his birth by Rex and Auleva Thomas. He went on to become a spokesman for adoption, even creating the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. He spent parts of his youth in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with his grandmother whom he credits with teaching him to treat others with respect, a core value in his business life.
