                 TRIBUTE TO TYPHANIE AND NICK MAHLSTADT

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Typhanie and Nick Mahlstadt of Indianola, Iowa as honorees 
of the 2016 Angels in Adoption Award.
  Each year, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) 
selects individuals, families or organizations who demonstrate a 
commitment to improving the lives of children in need of permanent, 
loving homes. Many have come away from this experience with a renewed 
commitment to serve the needs of the millions of children who are 
waiting for a loving family to call their own.
  I am proud that you are being welcomed into a select group of 
distinguished leaders who CCAI recognizes as 2016 Angels in Adoption 
honorees. Your tireless dedication to children sets you apart as a 
shining example in Indianola, across Iowa and throughout the United 
States, earning you well-deserved recognition as extraordinary 
individuals and quite worthy of this award.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Typhanie and Nick Mahlstadt 
in the United States Congress and it is with great pride that I 
recognize them today. I ask that my colleagues in the United States 
House of Representatives join me in congratulating the Mahlstadt family 
as they receive this honor and wish them nothing but the best in their 
lives and the lives of children everywhere.
