  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the achievements 
and service of Donna Euler of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
  Donna has served as the Adoption Coordinator with Lutheran Community 
Services Northwest, located in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for 16 years. Prior 
to her work at Lutheran Community Services she served the State of 
Idaho by providing adoption services for families and children. For 
years Donna has been instrumental in placing numerous children in good 
homes with good parents.
  Donna has continually utilized her expertise in adoptions to enhance 
adoption services in the State of Idaho. In 1992-93 she served on 
Idaho's Adoption Task Force to improve adoption practice within the 
State.
  In 1996, she participated in the Idaho Focus group that implemented 
the President's Adoption 2002 Initiative in Idaho.
  In 1999, Donna served on the Idaho Children's Treatment Rulemaking 
Project to assess and gather public input on the revised rules and 
regulations for licensure of children's agencies and foster homes.
  Her knowledge, passion, and commitment are unmatched. I am pleased I 
am able to nominate her for the Congressional Coalition on Adoption's 
Angels in Adoption Award.
