Members of Congress have the opportunity to honor one nominee from each congressional district per year. Congressman Goodlatte is a member of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption. A ceremony was held in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to honor these nominees. Congressman Goodlatte released the following statement:“It is my honor to recognize the Stultz family as the Sixth District’s 2016 ‘Angels in Adoption.’ The story of the Stultz family is one of love and perseverance. For over three years, Adam and Lynsey waited to bring their two adopted daughters home from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. While political turmoil in that country prevented them from bringing their legally-adopted daughters to the United States, they did not give up. After multiple trips, countless Skype calls, advocacy for their daughters’ release, and a community of prayer, Adam and Lynsey welcomed both girls home to Roanoke earlier this year. They are truly deserving of this recognition. Their perseverance and love have changed the lives of two little girls, and taken another step toward making the dream of a loving family a reality for every child.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
