“We have newborns sleeping in offices,” the social worker told me. “If you could open a crib, we’d be thankful.” I couldn’t shake the image of newborns struggling under the glare of fluorescent lights. So, instead of fostering a teen as I’d planned, I left the hospital cradling an abandoned infant, meth-exposed. In a few short years, I’d taken home ten.

ABOUT US
“Kids could have no better guardian angel.”
– National Review
NEW BEGINNINGS START HERE
True change is neither simple nor swift – that’s why we’re here. Too many American children suffer brutality and death as a result of weak laws or poor compliance with good laws. We believe children should be safely and quickly reunified with family when possible, foster care should be temporary, and adoption, when necessary, should proceed without delay.
OUR LEADERSHIP

DARCY OLSEN
Founder & CEO
“We have newborns sleeping in offices,” the social worker told me. “If you could open a crib, we’d be thankful.” So, instead of fostering a teen as I’d planned, I left the hospital cradling an abandoned infant. In a few short years, I’d taken home 10. My work honors the brief life of our eighth baby. Unable to recover from the abuse he'd suffered, Able lived just 56 days.

TIM KELLER
Senior Vice President and Legal Director
"As a father, I would have given anything to protect our foster daughter from what she endured,” said Tim. Through Gen Justice's public interest legal work, Tim seeks to vindicate the constitutional interests of children to be free from severe abuse, and he fights for their right to be safe, secure, and promptly placed with permanent parents.

ANN TREDWAY
Executive Director
Ann joined Gen Justice as a founding team member, offering her expertise in management, operations, and fundraising. Ann’s work honors the memory of her stillborn son, William. Ann believes all children should have the chance to grow up safe and loved.
