Protecting children from abuse is an issue that transcends politics. ❤️

Our founder and CEO, Darcy Olsen, was published in the about how we can better protect children, across the nation, through policy reform.

Here are three steps lawmakers can take:

1️⃣ Improve accountability: More than 95% of reported cases never end in a conviction.

2️⃣ Close the in**st loopholes.

3️⃣ Put child safety first in reunification decisions.

Every child deserves to be loved. ❤️

For children who have experienced abuse, having even one consistent adult who says, “I’m here to keep you safe, and I’m not going anywhere,” can mean everything.

There’s no “perfect” way to build a family.

At 40, Darcy was single, leading a multimillion-dollar organization and convinced she had to have every piece of her life perfectly in place before she could become a mom.

Then, she became a foster mom to abused and neglected children. She thought she'd signed up to be a "temp mom." She didn't know that half of children who enter care need adoptive, forever families.

She went on to foster 10 children and adopt four, taking on a motherhood and having a family that looked nothing like she'd once imagined.

If you’ve ever thought, I’m single... I won't ever be a mom... Darcy’s story is proof that motherhood and family can begin in ways you never expected.

There are children right now waiting for forever families. There are children sleeping in office buildings and shelters, because there are not enough people willing to take them in.

Could that be you?

What if the home a child is waiting for is yours?

Across the country, the need for foster families continues to outpace the number of homes available for children in care.

Becoming a foster parent isn’t about having a perfect life, a perfect house or all the answers. It’s about being willing to offer a child something every child deserves, a safe, loving home and someone in their corner.

One family can change everything for a child in need.

One of my children recently got a text from their biological parent. Here's what it said…

"I'm not really your dad. I never wanted you and nothing has changed. You were never part of my plan and you never will be. I don't feel any love for you, and honestly I never have. You're a reminder of things I try to forget. I don't want you reaching out to me, showing up, or trying to be a part of my life. I have no interest in you, your problems, or anything about you. I don't care how this makes you feel because I've moved on and I don't need you in my life. Do not contact me again. I want nothing to do with you."

A child read that.

In the child abuse arena, we hear the same slogans repeated over and over as if they are sacred text:

"Reunification is always the preferred outcome."

"Keeping families together is the first and best option."

"The goal is ALWAYS reunification."

I've fostered 10 children and adopted four. I've nursed broken bones, and tried to heal broken hearts. This work isn’t theoretical…

This work is my children.

Some people are just NOT fit to be parents. Some people do not want to be parents. Sometimes children need new families. Saying so is not anti-family. It's pro-child.

At the Center for the Rights of Abused Children, we'll keep saying it: the needs of the child come first.

We’re sounding the alarm. Did you know that every 12 minutes, a child goes missing in the United States?

This is a heartbreaking reality in our country but together we have the power to change it.

In ’s latest op-ed for the , she shares why stronger protections are needed for missing and abused children and how one piece of legislation could help make a meaningful difference.

Together, we’ve helped change the story for more than a million children but the work continues. ❤️

More children across the U.S. now have loving families ready to welcome them home, attorneys fighting to protect their rights, stronger protections from perpetrators and a better chance to grow up alongside the people they love.

This is why we do what we do.

But the work doesn’t stop here. We need your help to ensure every child has a safe and loving home.
