Expressing support for the recognition of April as National Foster Sibling Connections Month.

Keeping siblings together in foster care is the central aim of this non‑binding resolution, which would designate April as National Foster Sibling Connections Month and raise awareness about sibling bonds. It cites research that about 53 to 80 percent of children in foster care are separated from at least one sibling and links separation to placement instability, behavioral challenges, and worse mental health. The resolution encourages Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies to prioritize sibling placement and visitation, improve data collection and transparency on sibling separations, and urges policymakers, child welfare professionals, advocates, and the public to promote lifelong sibling connections.
