President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand foster care services to children moving out of the system into adulthood, bolstering one of first lady Melania Trump’s initiatives.

“We are going to protect American children in foster care, and we’re going to ensure that they will never, ever be forgotten,” Trump said at a White House event on Thursday, where he was joined by the first lady and foster families.
