Reichert has nominated Mike Magnotti of Wenatchee, WA to be honored by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) as an Angel in Adoption. This honor will be bestowed at an awards ceremony on October 8th followed by a gala event the next day in Washington, D.C. Mr. Magnotti has been a servant-leader for many years. He began helping children and families with adoptions in 2007 when he took a position with Antioch Adoptions in Redmond, WA. This was after 20 years of services with the Wenatchee Police Department specializing in child abuse and domestic violence cases. He was able to reach more people when he started his own organization called New Life Adoptions in October 2010. New Life Adoptions is a non-profit organization that seeks to provide foster children and privately relinquished infants with Christian adoptive homes. They help every child regardless of age, ethnicity, special needs, or health concerns and through the generosity of their donors are able to do all of this for free, only excepting foreign adoptions. To date, New Life Adoptions has facilitated the adoptions of 46 children. “Mr. Magnotti has dedicated his life to improving the welfare of children, placing their needs above his own,” said Rep. Reichert. “He has sacrificed much and truly deserves the honor of being named an Angel in Adoption.” Background CCAI was created in 2001 by the bipartisan, bicameral Congressional Coalition on Adoption to raide Congressional and public awareness about the issue of adoption. The Angels in Adoption program began in 1999 as a Congressional press conference to recognizing individuals who were outstanding in this area. The program has since developed and is now a yearlong awareness campaign that culminates in an awards ceremony and Gala celebration in Washington, D.C. At this years, event more than 140 “Angels” from around the country will be recognized. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
