Summary

Declares the sense of the House of Representatives, in recognition of National Foster Care Month, and to improve the foster care system throughout the United States, that Congress should: (1) provide federal adoption assistance to children adopted from the foster care system, including guardianship assistance; (2) provide sufficient funds to states and local governments to ensure that all levels of government are protecting foster children, including by hiring enough skilled caseworkers to track the progress of every child in the foster care system; (3) provide sufficient funds for state and local court systems to improve oversight of foster care programs and protect children in their jurisdiction; (4) increase the quantity of qualified attorneys who practice before courts with jurisdiction over children in foster care; and (5) ensure that improving the foster care system remains a top priority for both Congress and the Nation.
