                          TRIBUTE TO GREGG AND
                              PEGGY NIBERT

 Mr. SCOTT. Mr. President, I would like to acknowledge Gregg 
and Peggy Nibert of Clinton, SC, for their dedication and willingness 
to provide children without families a loving and supportive home.
  Mr. and Mrs. Nibert have opened up their hearts and homes through 
their exceptional service for children in the foster care system. Since 
entering the foster care program, Gregg and Peggy Nibert have fostered 
over 38 young children. The couple's very first child was a victim of 
shaken baby syndrome and blunt force trauma, and after 2 years in their 
care, the Niberts successfully advocated the child's adoption, 
resulting in placement with an amazing family.
  Dedicating their lives to loving each child that has been placed in 
their home and extending their support toward fighting for political 
reform, the Niberts have been working toward providing foster care 
children with a voice and more rights within the legal system. The 
Niberts have been working on behalf of foster care children for years 
and have shown that love and care for others can change lives.
  Gregg and Peggy Nibert are an outstanding example of foster parents 
who have a burning passion and desire not just to provide a home for 
these children but to love unconditionally and fight relentlessly for 
them as well. I applaud Gregg and Peggy Nibert for their continued 
commitment and compassion toward helping foster care children.
