Spokeo, along with partner Mixed Roots Foundation, just recently announced five winners of the Spokeo Search Angel Awards. The winners are:
- Joanna Eve Freitag, Cary, NC
- Connie Lynn Gray, Austin, TX
- Kari Lemons, Mountain View, CA
- Kellie Walls Sharpe, Walland, TN
- Mary Edna Wilson, Fort Worth, TX
Spokeo and Mixed Roots Foundation worked with a 12 member advisory committee, which I was proud to be a member. Together we worked to develop and raise awareness for a program to honor and support adoption search angels. Adoption search angels volunteer their time and talents to reunite members of the adoption triad (birth families, adoptees, and adoptive families).
Throughout the last two weeks of November, individuals across the nation submitted nominations online for deserving search angels who had touched their lives. The initial nominations were scored according to quality of the nomination and the impact of the search angel on the adoption community. Fourteen finalists were selected and asked to submit additional information about their work as a search angel. The final five angels were selected by the advisory committee based on their creative approaches to helping families and their passion and dedication to their work.
Spokeo Search Angel Award winners each received a cash grant to help offset the costs of conducting a search as well as an enterprise Spokeo premium account to serve as a staple search tool. The winners were also invited take part in the Spokeo Search Angel Meet and Greet event on April 12 at the American Adoption Congress National Conference in Cleveland.
