Mr. MULLIN. Mr. Speaker, November is a special time to remember that love makes a family.

During National Adoption Awareness Month, people and organizations from across the Nation come together to bring awareness to a cause that has become very important to my family.

Two years ago, our family grew from five to seven when we adopted our twin girls, Ivy and Lynette. These girls have been such a blessing to our family and have inspired my wife, Christie, and me to get involved with organizations that spread awareness about the importance of adoption. There are no unwanted kids, just unfound families.

Although this month is dedicated to adoption awareness, we need to talk every day about the kids of all ages who need a permanent, loving home. Let's commit to creating a brighter future for our Nation by ensuring every child has a safe home and a loving family. I believe this is an effort we can all support.
