I\u2019m proud to highlight the Isaksons\u2019 story as this year\u2019s Angels in Adoption honorees.\u201d\n\nMarcus and Jackie have always desired to pursue fostering and eventually adoption. The Isaksons had four biological children before they started down the path of fostering. Over the years, they have fostered countless children and recently fostered four siblings. When the biological mother passed away, the Isaksons decided to pursue adoption. On February 7, 2025, the Isakson family went from a family of six to a family of ten. However, this hasn\u2019t deterred the family\u2019s desire to continue fostering children. The Isaksons continue to take in emergency foster cases and currently have two foster children living in their home.\n\nEach year, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) selects individuals, families or organizations across the nation who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the lives of children in need of permanent, loving homes. Each family\u2019s tireless dedication to child welfare stands out in their community but earns them recognition as an extraordinary family deserving of this award.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-honors-isakson-family-angels-adoption-award"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9252468589693308, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
