Washington - U.S. Senator Robert Menendez ( D-NJ) today honored New Jersey native Christine Letizia at the Angels in Adoption Senate Pin Ceremony, an event created to celebrate individuals who make a difference in the lives of children without families of their own. The program, a product of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI), selected Christine Letizia as one of this year's outstanding recipients for her tireless work as co-founder of A Loving Choice Adoption Associates in Shrewsbury New Jersey.
Senator Menendez presented Ms. Letizia with a certificate commemorating her efforts in facilitating adoptions and lauded her advocacy for adoptive children and parents alike, saying "Christine is one of those special people who devote her life to helping the lives of others. As both a professional in the business and an adoptive parent herself, she has a rare perspective and understanding of the process that is simply invaluable. It is nice to know our children have someone so compassionate looking out for them."
The CCAI Angels in Adoption™ program, since its inception in 1999, has acted as an intermediary for Members of Congress and the individuals or organizations they wish to acknowledge. Members of Congress have honored over 1700 caring activists through the program, including foster parents, adoptive parents, social workers, adoption advocates, and foster care organizations.
Christine currently serves as the Director of Social Work and is both a proud parent and adoptive mother.
