           RECOGNIZING JONI CARRICO AS 2024 ANGEL IN ADOPTION

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Joni Carrico of 
Graves County, Kentucky, on being chosen as the 2024 Angel in Adoption 
by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.
  Ms. Carrico has worked tirelessly with the Hope That Binds, a 
nonprofit organization based out of western Kentucky that aims to 
provide financial assistance for foster and adopted families.
  Through Hope That Binds, a network of loving families is growing and 
expanding. To date, over 100 families have been assisted through the 
organization's fundraisers and grant program.
  Throughout her time at Hope That Binds, Ms. Carrico has been a voice 
of advocacy in her church and community. Her service has provided much 
encouragement to the First Congressional District of Kentucky and our 
constituents. She remains an important voice for hopeful parents 
seeking to grow their families.
  Ms. Carrico is an outstanding leader in west Kentucky, and her work 
impacts our community daily. I thank Ms. Carrico for supporting, 
connecting, and advocating for Kentucky families.
