The Center for the Rights of Abused Children publishes toolkit to help pass legislation in states nationwide.

For the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of American kids have aged out of the foster care system. The Permanency Project proves that those outcomes are not inevitable. And the thoughtful restoration of parental rights can provide a chance for many more.

It's my first day as a licensed foster mom when I get a call to go to the hospital and pick up a baby girl. So I race over to the hospital, and I make my way through this huge labyrinth of a medical center, but I'm early, and to my relief, over to the right is a small chapel.
