I’m proud to recognize Ina Cook as a 2022 @CCAInstitute “Angel in Adoption,” because she has been making families whole for 20+ years as an adoption attorney: helping children and potential parents navigate through the foster care system.

John and Sarah Enos of Deadwood fostered and adopted three young children in 2020. This family of eight shows how fostering & adopting is a blessing to children and families.
Congrats to the Enos family for being named @CCAInstitute South Dakota 2022 Angels in Adoption honorees.

Michelle and Jeremy Harrell’s unwavering dedication to TN’s children & adoptive parents & their tireless work to improve the adoption process has made a profound difference in our state. I couldn’t be more pleased that they have received this well-deserved honor and recognition.
The Harrells go to Washington! Our CEO @jsharrell and his wife Michelle, along with their son Wesley, are on Capitol Hill to receive an #AngelsinAdoption honor from @CCAInstitute. Our founders met with @SenatorHagerty and Sen. @MarshaBlackburn to discuss #adoptionfriendly policy.
