                        Monday, October 31, 2011

  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor, Deanna and Robert 
Sader, who have received the ``Angels in Adoption'' award from my 
Congressional District, the 14th in Illinois. They have two special 
needs children with an extra 21st chromosome. Having given birth to a 
child with Down Syndrome, they decided several years later to adopt an 
orphan with Down Syndrome from the Ukraine and give little Lucy freedom 
with a future. Through prayer this couple made a commitment together to 
reach across the world to do God's work and as a result, each and every 
day they feel blessed to have this little girl join their family and 
our country. In spite of the challenges that are foreign adoptions, Mr. 
and Mrs. Sader never allowed the ``red tape'' to deter their mission 
and always considered Lucy and her sister Ragen to be their ``Pots of 
Gold at the End of the Rainbow.''
  As an American and Christian, I am grateful I have the opportunity to 
recognize these two outstanding individuals and the contribution they 
are making to our World. I congratulate them for this special honor and 
recognition.
