H. Res. 263
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 15, 2007.
Whereas National Foster Care Month provides an oppor-
tunity to recognize the important role that the foster care 
system plays in the lives of the more than 500,000 chil-
dren currently in foster care programs throughout the 
United States; 
Whereas National Foster Care Month also provides an oppor-
tunity to explore the difficulties faced by children in the 
foster care system and to reaffirm the Nation’s commit-
ment to improving the lives of these children by improv-
ing foster care programs; 
Whereas many children in the foster care system have spent 
multiple years in foster care programs and have experi-
enced an unstable home life due to frequent moves from 
one foster home to another; 
Whereas approximately 50 percent of foster care children 
have been placed in foster care programs for longer than 
1 year; 
Whereas 25 percent of foster care children have been placed 
in foster care programs for at least 3 years; 
Whereas children in foster care programs for longer periods 
of time often experience worse outcomes than children in 
foster care programs for shorter periods of time;
•HRES 263 EH 
Whereas children in foster care programs are more likely 
than the general population to become teen parents, to 
rely on public assistance as adults, to become homeless, 
and to experience mental health disorders at a higher 
rate; 
Whereas repeated studies have shown that a child’s very early 
years are critical for brain development, meaning that it 
is extremely important to find suitable permanent homes 
for children during this critical period; 
Whereas there are 119,000 children eligible for adoption 
every year and less than half of the children in foster 
care programs actually get adopted; 
Whereas a stable home is critical to a child’s development; 
and 
Whereas every child deserves to be raised by a loving family: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That in recognition of National Foster Care 
Month and in order to improve the foster care system 
throughout the United States, it is the sense of the House 
of Representatives that Congress should ensure that improv-
ing the foster care system remains a top priority for both 
Congress and the Nation.

Whereas more than 2,750,000 Americans are demonstrating

programs and campaigns have been established in the 
private sector to honor, support, and thank military chil-

Whereas a month-long salute to military children will encour-
