Washington, DC — Earlier today, Wisconsin’s First District Congressman Paul Ryan met with Josh and Rachel Steele of Union Grove, Wisconsin to congratulate them for being selected as Angels in Adoption by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI).
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute sponsors the Angels in Adoption program and honored individuals at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC this week. The Angels in Adoption program is an awareness campaign that allows Members of Congress to recognize constituents who have enriched the lives of foster children and orphans in the United States and abroad.
“Josh and Rachel have had an amazing journey to grow their family through international and domestic foster care-based adoptions. Their willingness to open their hearts and home to six adopted children—four from foster care and two international adoptions—in addition to their two biological children, is truly heart-warming. I was honored to meet them and recognize them as Angels in Adoption,” Ryan said.
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute is a non-profit organization that raises awareness about the needs of children to be adopted. CCAI was founded in 2001 and seeks to engage with and connect policymakers and individuals with adoption experience.
