Congressman Aderholt Celebrates Lowhorne and Shaver for Being “Angels in Adoption”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, Congressman Robert Aderholt, as Co-Chair of the Congressional Adoption Caucus, honored two Alabamians he nominated, and who were selected, as Angels in Adoption.

“I have been a strong proponent of adoption since I was first elected to Congress,” said Congressman Aderholt. “These two Angels, Keith Lowhorne of Madison County and State Representative Ginny Shaver of Cherokee County, have both met and exceeded the definition of “Angels in Adoption.”

“Lowhorne, who along with his wife Edie, adopted their two grandchildren, has been an advocate and voice for adoptive grandparents in Alabama and across the country. Rep. Shaver has used her position in the Alabama Legislature to also advocate for adoption, to make it happen more easily and more often.

“Both of these Angels in Adoption have worked tirelessly and their efforts have made life better for countless children in our state and across America. It was my honor to nominate them and for them to be selected.”

Angels in Adoption is an annual award organized by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute honoring nominees across the country who have made an impact in the world of adoption.
