to assure a child the frequent, meaningful and continuing contact with two
parents and extended family the child would normally have during a marriage.
We work to strengthen families through education, favoring family formation
and family preservation. Unlike many other organizations with some of the
same concerns, CRC is genderless; we are not a women's group nor a men's
group. Rather, we advocate what we believe to be in the best interests of
children including the Children's Bill of Rights." (http://www.gocrc.org/orgF.html) |
