Because of generous support from people like you, children who are escaping abuse and neglect have a voice in their futures. They have a caring attorney to stand by their side – to fight for them and to help them feel less scared and alone in the courtroom. They have access to health care, education, and other supports they need. One of these children is Emma.<\/p>\n

Emma was taken from her family and placed in foster care when she was only five months old. Emma\u2019s foster family quickly fell in love with their new baby girl and wanted to nothing more than to make her their own. But because she was released from the hospital without a birth certificate, she could not be adopted.<\/p>\n

SLLS was appointed to represent Emma. We zealously advocated for the court to order records needed to free Emma for adoption. After we got the birth certificate, we stayed on the case, determined to see Emma finally have a permanent home with the family who she loved.<\/p>\n

Through our advocacy, the adoption was expedited after we convinced the court that systemic changes were needed so children like Emma could have permanent homes as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

After 1,208 days in the system, because of your support, Emma\u2019s foster family could finally adopt her.<\/strong> Emma couldn\u2019t be happier to be part of a safe, stable, and loving family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
