A Precious Gift ARC's 1st Annual Adoption Picnic 2007

 

Our first annual adoption picnic was held at Mary Lisa's home on Saturday, August 18, 2007.  Adoptive families, birthfamilies, children, and adoption workers were invited.  We had a wonderful turnout and the weather was beautiful.  Many birthfamilies came to see their children for the first time since placing them.  It was an emotional but happy and blessed day!  A special thank you to Mary Lisa's husband Scott for all his hard work in helping make this event a success!
