WHEREAS, The celebration of National Foster Care Month in May
and National Foster Parent Appreciation Day on May 31, 2025,
provides a fitting opportunity to recognize the Building Future
Families organization for its advocacy work in behalf of foster and

care in the State of Texas, and Building Future Families was
established in 2015 to serve as a voice for foster and adoptive
parents in Texas; the nonpartisan, nonprofit organization's
objectives are to advocate for foster and adoptive parents in
public policy issues, to educate and engage foster and adoptive
parents, and to provide counsel to those who are facing challenges
related to the fostering or adopting process; and
WHEREAS, Building Future Families worked with foster parents
on a Bill of Rights for Foster Parents in the interest of bringing
positive change to the foster care system; the organization also
works to inform foster and adoptive parents about the legal
proceedings pertaining to fostering and adoption; and
WHEREAS, The well-being of foster children is a matter of
tremendous concern to all Texans, and Building Future Families is
to be commended for the invaluable work it has done to support
foster families and to meet our state's foster care needs; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby honor Building Future Families on the occasion
of National Foster Care Month and National Foster Parent
