Annual Picnics
Annual Picnic 2010
AFTH held its 22nd annual picnic at the Fort Washington State Park, in Pennsylvania on Sunday June 6, 2010. It was very hot and humid but we were happy the expected rain held off. An estimated 1500 parents, grandparents, birth parents and children from all over gathered to celebrate adoption.
It is always great to see new families who are just starting the process, families who just recieved placements (one family had a 3 week old baby!) as well as families who have been coming for years. We would like to thank all of our families who came out to celebrate adoption with us for making this event successful. We hope to see you again next year.
Thank you to the Raucous Brothers who provided us with a lively reggae sound, 5 local teens for face painting, Jack and Jill ice cream for supplying all the children with ice cream, Scholastic Inc for providing arts and crafts and to the AFTH staff who helped out all throughout the event.
