The tragic History of child welfare

The Family Forward Foundation is a national organization dedicated to the rights of familial integrity, and the rights of parents and children to be free from unreasonable intrusion of the government, as protected by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.   

Vision Statement The Family Forward Foundation is a national organization committed to restoring the integrity of our constitutionally protected familial rights; promoting the familial rights of choice in education, medical care, and other parental choices, prioritizing familial associations within child welfare systems nationwide; ensuring the rights of families, parents and children in a comprehensive manner to safeguard wellbeing, fairness, justice, liberty, and family stability. 

Through advocacy, education, and developing referral networks of dedicated professionals, the organization seeks to insure that every family is provided a meaningful opportunity to be left intact and to be treated in a fair and just manner when facing government activities that intrude into the day-to-day decisions of child rearing and family integrity. 

Through these efforts, the organization seeks to improve outcomes for children, families, and society.
