“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.

Safe suburban home.
Loving family.
Kidnapped by a pedophile.
One New Year’s Day, 13-year old Alicia simply vanished. She was taken across state lines, tortured, and raped. Meanwhile her family searched feverishly for her, refusing to stop until she was recovered. Miraculously, Alicia was found.
If Alicia had been a foster child, she might still be missing.
6 in 10 sex-trafficked kids are from foster care.
When a foster child is missing, the state is not required to find them. After 6-months, some states will close their file even if they are still missing.
Generation Justice is fighting state-by-state to advance laws that require a missing child’s case to remain open until they have a safe, permanent home, or until they reach 18 years of age.
Help us ensure foster kids
get the same miraculous ending as Alicia.
