Support for Foster Families and Children

In partnership with America’s Kids Belong and other foster care organizations, the First Lady has launched a public education, awareness, and resource campaign for the benefit of Utah’s foster children and families. Of particular focus are the foster organizations, the foster families, the ‘legally free’ children and the ‘waiting’ children. Waiting children entered foster care through no fault of their own and have experienced trauma and loss. They are generally over the age of nine; members of a sibling group; children of color; and children with physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges. They deserve connections with adults who can provide them with non-judgmental, unconditional love and commitment to help them thrive throughout their lifetime.
