The award was presented  during the council’s annual affair and acknowledges passionate and innovative contributions to the field of adoption. Presented two times previously in the organization’s 35-year history, the award is named for the council’s co-founder. The Sterns were recognized for the integral role they have played in shaping its mission and vision. ‘It’s been extremely rewarding to see the changes in the field of adoption over the last 35 years,’ Lou Stern said. ‘There are still many challenges remaining, and the National Council for Adoption will continue to lead the way.’  He is a founding member of the organization’s board of directors, has served as board chairman five times for a total of 13 years and continues to serve on the board. The Sterns have lived in Highland Beach since 1997 and are adoptive parents. Photo provided
