Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate National Adoption Month along with National Adoption Day on November 21. This recognition aims to increase awareness for the 122,000 foster children in America awaiting adoption, and to celebrate the children and families brought together through the adoption process. Mr. Speaker, I honor the numerous organizations and individuals throughout the First Congressional District that offer vital assistance to the children in the foster care system. Their efforts to help adopted children and provide resources for young adults aging out of the system go a long way in ensuring the safety and well-being of this vulnerable population. Their tireless efforts and compassion for others form the backbone of our child welfare system. I am honored to join with my colleagues in celebration of National Adoption Month and to thank all the generous organizations and individuals in the First Congressional District of Kentucky for their dedication to such a noble cause. Recognizing Todd County's 200th Anniversary
