斯彭斯 - 查平 養父母道格拉斯同克里斯滕 · 德里斯科爾係一對非常出色嘅夫婦,亦都係對子女嘅忠心父母。喺生咗五個親生子女之後,道格拉斯同克里斯滕開始同斯彭斯 - 查平合作,開設佢哋嘅家,為有特殊需要嘅兒童提供臨時照顧。透過呢份工作,佢哋想透過收養擴大佢哋嘅家庭嘅慾望開花結果。佢哋之後收養咗五個靚仔仔。兩個最細嘅德里斯科爾小朋友係透過斯彭斯 - 查平嘅特殊需要計劃收養嘅。 Spence-Chapin 嘅特殊需要副主任 Linda Alexandre 話:「 Christen 同 Doug 係佢哋嘅子女嘅專心倡導者同愛心嘅父母。我哋好高興佢哋獲得收養天使嘅榮譽。」 Doug 同 Christen 都好鍾意做父母,亦都覺得好有福,因為有機會被選為子女嘅父母。.
On Tuesday, October 6th, the Driscoll family met with Sen. Charles Schumer and received their Angels in Adoption award. Sen. Charles Schumer acknowledged their dedication to adoption and advocacy for children with special needs.
個 收養中嘅天使™ program is CCAI’s signature public awareness campaign and provides an opportunity for all members of the U.S. Congress to honor the good work of their constituents who have enriched the lives of foster children and orphans in the United States and abroad. Each year, more than 140 Angels are honored through the 收養中嘅天使™ program. “The 收養中嘅天使™ program is unlike any other program in the Nation’s Capital. Because of it, almost 2,000 ‘Angels’ have come to share with Washington their adoption experience and left with a renewed excitement of all that adoption makes possible,” said Kathleen Strottman.
個 收養中嘅天使™ program was established in 1999 as a Congressional press conference to honor outstanding individuals. Since then, the program has developed into a yearlong public awareness campaign culminating in an extraordinary awards gala and celebration in Washington, DC.
