Protecting the rights of children and youth in the California foster care system to safety, security, and a permanent home.

Advokids is pleased to announce that Janet G. Sherwood, Advokids’ Senior Legal Consultant and co-founder, was honored with the prestigious Children’s Champion Award by Court Appointed Special Advocates of California. The award was presented on September 3rd. during a celebratory event and awards ceremony in Orange County. The Children’s Champion Award is presented annually to an individual (or individuals) for their unparalleled commitment to improving the lives of children in the California child welfare system.

Accepting the award on Jan’s behalf, Advokids co-founder and Executive Director Margaret Coyne reflected on Janet’s extraordinary career:

“As a child welfare legal scholar, appellate attorney, and trial attorney, Jan has fought for children and for their fundamental right to have their best interests guide decision-making in every arena of the child welfare system. That has been her life’s work. She has challenged systems, changed laws, mentored advocates, and, most importantly, stood beside children who too often have no one else to stand for them.”

Join us in celebrating Janet and this incredible milestone.

No family should feel powerless when working tirelessly to protect a child. When families have clarity, knowledge, and support, they can better advocate for the children they love. Advokids is honored to stand by their side for as long as it takes to bring a child to safety, security, and a permanent home 💙

For many children in the foster care system, trauma can shape how they see themselves, others, and the world around them. Experiences of neglect, separation, and instability can leave lasting emotional wounds. But healing is possible.

Every time a child is heard, believed, and advocated for, healing begins. Every time a family receives support instead of judgment, healing begins. Every time a young person knows they have someone standing beside them, healing begins.

Trauma may be a part of a child's story, but it does not have to define their future.

Together, we can help create pathways to safety, security, and a permanent home.

"They just disappeared. And the worst thing was we didn't even get to say goodbye, and we didn't know where they were." - Maya, age 7

Being placed with siblings can protect children from the harms of foster care, offering stability and a vital connection to family.

When sibling relationships are preserved, kids experience greater stability, better mental health, stronger school outcomes, and higher chances of reunification.

Yet 53–80% of children with siblings are separated while in care.

That’s why Advokids works to preserve and protect sibling connections.
