The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI), which orchestrates the Angels in Adoption™ program. Mrs. McNeil-Hayes was celebrated at an awards ceremony on October 8 and gala on October 9 in Washington, DC. Each year, more than 140 Angels are honored through the Angels in Adoption™ program.
