Christie and I are the proud parents of six wonderful children, three of whom came into our family through the blessing of adoption. Every child in America deserves a safe and loving home, and that’s why I'm dedicated to supporting Oklahoma's children in foster care. America has a significant number of children in foster care, including 6,552 in Oklahoma and 449 without placement. I'm actively working as part of the Senate Foster Youth Caucus to address the challenges they face.
During National Foster Care Awareness Month, I'm incredibly grateful for the gracious volunteers, organizations, and families advocating on behalf of our foster youth. To the foster homes across the state, I offer my deepest appreciation for your contribution. Together, we can lessen the challenges these children face and help them succeed as future leaders, world-changers, and neighbors.
