WASHINGTON, D.C.  — This week, Congressman Rudy Yakym joined First Lady Melania Trump for a Ways and Means Committee Roundtable on foster care initiatives, including his bipartisan bill, The Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act (H.R. 7655).

"I appreciate the First Lady’s commitment to America's foster youth and her leadership on the Fostering the Future initiative," Rep. Yakym said.

"Today's conversation was productive, and I look forward to continuing Congresswoman (Jackie) Walorski's work alongside the First Lady, including advancing my bipartisan Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act to better connect young parents with the resources they need to protect children and strengthen their families."

The Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act has earned the support of nearly 160 organizations.
