The concept of children's rights being prioritized over adult desires is a startling concept in today's society, especially when it comes to marriage and family issues. A new book, Them Before Us, argues that children's rights should come before adult desires and that this is essential for their well-being and development. The author, Katie Faust, founder of Them Before Us, discusses the importance of children having a right to their own mother and father and how this is linked to their health, education, and social outcomes. She also highlights the harms that children experience when they are raised in non-traditional family structures and the importance of advocating for children's rights in policy decisions.
