Thousands of children every year are abused, neglected, and abandoned.
Thousands of children have been separated from their parents bringing them across the border.
Only 2 countries in the world have not signed on to any kind of global protection for children's rights - Sudan and the United States.
Richard Vilasana, and his team at Forever Homes for Foster Kids works to bridge this gap and match many of these children with living relatives to try and keep families together.
Without family finding, many children stay in foster care for years bouncing from one place to the other. Once they aged out (become too old to stay in the foster care program), they end up on the streets with little or no support.
By locating foster children's family members, Forever Homes for Foster Kids become the primary method to move these kids out of foster care and into forever homes.
Forever Homes for Foster Kids believes that all U.S. foster children deserve to live happy, healthy lives in a permanent home.
