Advokids is a brand that serves as a legal resource for foster children and their advocates in California. They are dedicated to protecting the rights of every foster child in the state, ensuring their safety, security, and the opportunity to find a permanent home. With over 55,000 children in foster care in California, Advokids recognizes the urgent need to support these vulnerable individuals.

Advokids offers a range of programs and services to address the unique challenges faced by foster children. Their free Child's Welfare Law and Information Hotline provides legal information to anyone concerned about a child in foster care. Additionally, they offer a Children's Attorney Consultation Line, training and conferences, as well as resources for court-appointed special advocates, social workers, and attorneys.

Through their work, Advokids aims to minimize separation and loss in family and caregiver relationships, reduce placement disruptions, increase visitation with relatives, and improve permanency outcomes such as reunifications and adoptions. They also strive to lessen trauma and stress experienced by foster children. If you are a foster child, a sibling, a relative, a caregiver, an attorney, or a concerned citizen wanting to protect a child, Advokids provides legal tools and resources to help navigate the child welfare system.
