This Senate resolution affirms the commitment to making the U.S. adoption and foster care system more child-centered and compassionate, particularly for youth transitioning out of care. The resolution addresses the more than 340,000 children currently in foster care, including over 100,000 eligible for adoption, and the approximately 20,000 young people who age out of the system annually without permanent family connections. It calls on federal, state, and local governments to strengthen policies that prioritize family preservation when safe, provide better training and support for caregivers, and improve oversight to prevent abuse and reduce placement disruptions. The resolution also emphasizes the need for comprehensive support services for youth aging out of foster care, including assistance with education, employment, housing, and mental health services. As a resolution rather than legislation, it does not include specific funding allocations or binding timelines, but serves as a formal statement of Senate priorities for child welfare system reform.
