We're honored to share that Family Programs Hawaii is a 2026 Angels in Adoption® honoree! 💛
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) recognized FPH for our work on behalf of Hawaiʻi's keiki and families. On September 29, 2026, FPH's President & CEO, La'akea Yoshida, accepted the honor for FPH in Washington, D.C., and carried FPH's story to Capitol Hill.
This honor reflects more than 20 years of work by our staff, volunteers, resource caregivers, partners, and supporters. It includes the siblings kept together at Hoʻomalu, the sibling visits through Project Visitation, the young people finding permanent families through Wendy's Wonderful Kids, and the families we walk alongside every day.
Mahalo to CCAI, to Senator Mazie K. Hirono for her warm letter of congratulations, and to every one of you who has been part of this work. This award belongs to all of us. 🌺
