Lawyers For Children was created for you, the young person in foster care. Our web site is designed to give you information about your rights. But, we also know how important it is to listen to you. So, this is where you tell us what's important to you and what information you need and want about foster care.

Click here if you want to begin by finding out whether you are already represented by a lawyer and social worker at Lawyers For Children and how to contact them directly to tell them what is on your mind.

If you are in foster care and are not represented by Lawyers For Children, you are probably represented by the Juvenile Rights Division (JRD) of the Legal Aid Society.

If you want to find out whether you are represented by JRD and how to contact your lawyer there:   Call 212-312-2260

Tell them:
• your full name;
• that you are in foster care;
• in what borough;
• and your date of birth.
