Smith Congratulates 2016 “Angels in Adoption” Third District Honoree

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) congratulated Toni Reiman of Beatrice today on receiving the 2016 Angels in Adoption Award for Nebraska’s Third District. Following Smith’s nomination, Toni was invited to Washington, D.C. to be honored alongside other Angels in Adoption from across the country at a ceremony this evening.

"Toni has adopted five children and fostered many more," Smith said. "As she creates a loving, supportive home for them, she also actively facilitates contact with their biological families to help them stay connected and learn more about themselves. It is a privilege to name Toni the 2016 Angels in Adoption award recipient for Nebraska’s Third District and honor the lasting impact she has made in so many children’s lives."

The Angels in Adoption initiative, coordinated by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, provides Members of Congress the opportunity to honor an individual or entity from their districts for extraordinary contributions on behalf of children in need of homes.
