    RECOGNIZING 2018 ANGELS IN ADOPTION HONOREE KRISTIN HILL TAYLOR

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Comer) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Kristin Hill 
Taylor, who recently received recognition as a 2018 Angels in Adoption 
Honoree and whom I am honored to have with me in the gallery today. 
This is the second time I have had the privilege of nominating a 
deserving individual for their outstanding work in the adoption 
community.
  Kristin is a resident of Murray, Kentucky, along with her husband, 
Greg, and their three children they adopted as newborns--Cate in 2007, 
Ben in 2009, and Rachel in 2015.
  A compassionate adoptive mother, Kristin is an advocate for the 
adoption community and has created a great platform for sharing stories 
about adoption, family, and faith on her blog, kristinhilltaylor.com. 
She also self-published her family's story in a book entitled: ``Peace 
in the Process: How Adoption Built My Faith & My Family.''
  Kristin's advocacy and platform for story sharing have helped grow 
and empower many members of the adoption community both near and far. 
We have an active adoption and foster community in the district of 
Kentucky which I represent, and I am proud to recognize adoptive 
families and individuals like Kristin who pave the way for countless 
folks in the adoption community.
  On behalf of the First District of Kentucky, I congratulate Kristin 
on all she does for children in need of loving homes and for families 
who want to grow through the adoption process.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
references to occupants of the gallery.
