Guardians ad Litem make a profound impact on the children they serve and the communities these children call home. Children who have a Guardian ad Litem are:
- More likely to be adopted
- Half as likely to re-enter foster care
- Substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care
- More likely to have a plan for permanency
- More likely to perform well in school
Every child deserves a champion.
