BEAVER CITY -- Terry and Sandi Klein have been selected as recipients of the Adoption Angels Award, presented by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.

The Kleins have been foster parents since 1988. In 2002 they adopted three siblings who had been in their foster care. Their picture was attached to the earlier news release announcing their nomination.

The Kleins, who both work outside the home and volunteer their time with the fire dept. and Red Cross, also have 2 adult children and 2 grandchildren with another on the way.

The Kleins are among 160 families nationally who will be recognized for their accomplishments and contributions in the area of foster care and adoption, along with actress Jane Seymour, during ceremonies in Washington DC  on Sept. 23rd.

"I am thrilled for Sandi and Terry," said U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson. "I can't think of anyone more deserving. They are a perfect example of what this prestigious National award stands for and that is to honor people who are willing to share their already full lives with children who are in need of a loving home."
