== History ==
Barbara Harris founded the organization in [[Anaheim, California]] in 1997 as Children Requiring a Caring Kommunity (CRACK) after she and her husband adopted four children, one-by-one as each was born, from a drug-addicted mother.  Each of the four adopted children is separated in age by only one year.<ref name="Gostin" /> With the experience of helping the children through [[Drug withdrawal|withdrawal]] and other health problems, she tried to get legislation passed in California that would have mandated long-term birth control for mothers who gave birth to babies who were [[prenatal cocaine exposure|exposed to cocaine as fetuses]].<ref name="Gostin" /> After this failed, she started what is now called Project Prevention.<ref>[http://www.projectprevention.org/faq/ "Frequently Asked Questions"].
