Thanks very much to all of you for coming today.

Ms. Smith, you spoke this morning about a central role being played by the federal government in the States in providing incentives to states to up the number of children being adopted. You talked as well about the national government supporting adoptees until age 21. Can you speak a little more specifically about the incentives and the support by the federal government to states to support adoption activity?
