It is with great joy that I have shadowing me today a girl named Desirae, and she is with me as a foster child. It was one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as a foster mother to 23 great kids. May is Foster Care Month. There are 400,000 children in the United States who need a foster parent. We need more foster parents. She and I have been talking about the news of the day so far. We talked about the tragedy in Oklahoma and how our former colleague, now- Governor Mary Fallin, is working so beautifully, together with the staff in Oklahoma, to meet the needs of the tragedy that is occurring. We talked about gas prices being $4.30 a gallon and how building the Keystone pipeline will provide new jobs. Foster children need love. They need stability. They need to be a part of the fabric of this Nation. Let's make them a priority in this country. ____________________
