## Summary

**Preserving sibling relationships for children in foster care**. This resolution would recognize April as National Foster Sibling Connections Month and urge attention to keeping brothers and sisters connected through placement, visitation, and better data. - Children and families: An estimated 53 to 80 percent of children in foster care are separated from at least one sibling. Research links sibling separation to greater placement instability, behavioral problems, and adverse mental health outcomes. - Agencies and policymakers: It would encourage Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies to prioritize sibling placement and lifelong connection and to improve data collection and transparency about sibling relationships and separations. - Advocates and the public: The resolution calls on policymakers, child welfare professionals, advocates, and the public to raise awareness and to elevate foster care alumni voices in shaping policies that protect sibling bonds.
