Description

Rapid changes in reproductive technologies combined with the redefinition of marriage have resulted in more and more children intentionally denied a relationship with one or both of their biological parents. Meanwhile, the media claims that “all kids need is love.”

A new children’s rights organization is shedding light on the very real and lasting cost children pay when the desires of adults are prioritized over children's rights. Them Before Us is providing a platform to bring these children together and give them a voice.

Join us as we explore the philosophical, legal and practical underpinnings of the rights of children in family structure, and how viewing matters of marriage and parenthood through the lens of children can persuade a skeptical culture.
