It was great to sit down with RI’s Merry Caswell, a @CCAInstitute Angels in Adoption Honoree.

Thank you for your tireless efforts to improve education for RI foster youth!

And thank you to CCAI for your advocacy on behalf of all kids who need permanent, safe, and loving homes.

Angels in Adoption honorees Kevin and Kris Magstadt's adoption journey demonstrates how adopting grandchildren has changed their family for the better.

As adoptive parents, my wife Kris and I understand this commitment and know what a privilege it is!
