Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress should recognize the important contributions of Americans who serve as foster parents and, in doing so, unselfishly open their homes and family lives to children in need.

Summary

Urges Congress to continue its commitment to providing critical assistance to children and families involved in the foster care system through part E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of title IV of the Social Security Act and other programs designed to help children reunite with their parents or find a loving and permanent home when they cannot return to their biological parents.
