About Children's Bureau
As long as there are human beings who weep for others' children, heroes in my world, like the ones who work for or support the Children's Bureau or agencies like ours, there is hope. There is hope that the sadness for some children will diminish, the pain will be alleviated, that health of body and spirit will be restored.
