                     Wednesday, September 18, 2024

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Joni Carrico of 
Graves County on being chosen as the 2024 Angel to Adoption by the 
Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. Ms. Carrico has worked 
tirelessly with Hope That Binds, a nonprofit organization based out of 
Western Kentucky that aims to provide financial assistance for foster 
and adoptive 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 1st Congressional District of Kentucky and our 
constituents. She remains an important voice for hopeful parents 
seeking to grow their home.
  Ms. Carrico is an outstanding leader in Western Kentucky and her work 
impacts our communities daily. I thank Ms. Carrico for supporting, 
connecting and advocating for Kentucky families.
