Annual Picnics

Annual Picnic 2008

AFTH held its 20th annual picnic at the Fort Washington State Park, in Pennsylvania on Sunday June 1, 2008. It was a beautiful day filled with beautiful families. Ballons and toys were handed out to children and there were plenty of free snacks.

An estimated 1500 parents, grandparents, birth parents and children from all over gathered to celebrate adoption. International families hung flags from the various countries they adopted from in the trees and gathered with their travel groups. Some domestic families visited with Birth parents.

It is always great to see new families 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, Freckles the Clown and her friends for face painting and balloon art, Jack and Jill ice cream for supplying all the children with ice cream and to the AFTH staff who helped out at the arts and craft table, and all throughout the event.
