“I’m a bad boy. That’s what my mom always tells me.” After that CASA Kathi began every visit with “There’s my good boy!!” That same little boy graduated from a behavioral health program and is on his way to finally healing. #ChangeAChildsStory #BeACASA ow.ly/tD2F50urXmO

“The bottom line is that our country’s most vulnerable children need access to as many safe and loving homes as possible,” said Sandy Santana, Executive Director at @ChildrensRights. #EveryChildDeservesAFamily
Today, new legislation was introduced that would END discrimination in #fostercare and adoption. Children's Rights supports the #EveryChildDeservesAFamily Act, which would help keep more foster kids in safe and loving homes. childrensrights.org/press-re… @family_equality
