A senate RESOLUTION

To recognize and Honor the Power of Prayer Foster 
Care Initiative, and to Commend the initiative for their important work 
supporting foster Care efforts in the state.

Whereas, children are 
among our community's most vulnerable and valuable citizens, deserving of 
safety, stability, and the opportunity to thrive; and

Whereas, there is a 
critical and ongoing need for dedicated foster families to provide safe, 
nurturing homes, particularly for teenagers and sibling groups who are often at 
greater risk of prolonged separation and instability; and

Whereas, foster parents 
serve a vital role in supporting children through difficult transitions, yet 
they require continued encouragement, resources, and community support to 
effectively meet the needs of those in their care; and

Whereas, birth families 
experiencing crisis and hardship benefit from compassionate support, access to 
services, and opportunities for healing, with the goal of safe and timely 
reunification with their children whenever possible; and

Whereas, the well-being 
of children and families is a shared responsibility that calls for coordinated 
collaboration among public agencies, faith-based organizations, community 
groups, and concerned citizens; and

Whereas, the Power of 
Prayer Foster Care Initiative seeks to unite individuals and communities in 
prayer, awareness, and action to strengthen foster care efforts and support 
children and families in need. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor the Power of Prayer Foster Care Initiative, and commend the 
initiative for their important work supporting foster care efforts in the State.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the vice president of children's 
ministries, Miracle Hill Ministries, Brenda L. Parks.
