                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two 
extraordinary individuals from my district--James and Angie Sessions--
who opened their hearts to foster care and adoption.
  I was proud to nominate James and Angie as ``Angels in Adoption,'' an 
award by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. It 
recognizes individuals, couples, and organizations who improve the 
lives of children in need of families.
  The Sessions family is more than deserving of this recognition. After 
learning about foster care at a local church camp for children in state 
custody, James and Angie were inspired to become foster parents. While 
they were providing foster care for four siblings--three young brothers 
and their baby sister--James and Angie were determined to keep the 
siblings together.
  In August of 2017, the Sessions family grew from 2 to 6 when Ajay, 
Nathan, Kyler, and Layla found their forever home with James and Angie 
in Pasco, Washington.
  Thank you, James and Angie, for your love and dedication to children 
in Central Washington
