                     RECOGNIZING MAYOR KEVIN COTTON

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mayor Kevin 
Cotton from Madisonville, Kentucky, for being named a 2021 Angel in 
Adoption by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.
  The Angels in Adoption program seeks to honor individuals and 
organizations that focus on adoption, permanency, and child welfare 
issues.
  Mayor Cotton and his wife, Donna Cotton, consistently give back to 
the community by fostering children in their home. Throughout the 
years, they have provided love and care to 46 children, three of which 
they adopted.
  Those who know Mayor Cotton know him best for his love of children, 
passion for foster care, and desire to make a lasting impact in the 
community through his business and public service.
  I appreciate the profound contributions the Cottons have made and am 
grateful for their dedication to the gift and treasure of adoption. The 
nomination is symbolic of their devotion to children as well as an 
ambitious, caring vision for the lives of others.
  I am proud to recognize Mayor Kevin Cotton and his wife, Donna, for 
their incredible work in the child welfare arena. On behalf of all my 
constituents, I congratulate them on their efforts to make the dream of 
a family a reality for children in need.
