A Good Picnic
We had a great time at our picnic today! There were at least 8 families there and probably over 40 people. This is so exciting since we just started the group a couple of months ago. I have to admit that seeing the little kiddos who have made it home to their forever families made me a little more eager to have our little guy home. This group is going to be such a good resource for us. I already learned a lot from experiences the other families have had. Many of them had great tips and advice to give us. One family who used the same agency as we did just moved into town and live one subdivision over from us. They were very friendly and said they would be more than willing to help us out with whatever we need. I can not tell you what a blessing this whole thing is! God has really provided. Many of the families were very excited about having the group too and said that they have been wanting to have something like this for a long time but have not had the time to set it up. We enjoyed everyone who came and we very much look forward to meeting the other families who were not able to make it today. The day itself was wonderful too. It was hot enough for all the kids to play in the water but not too hot to enjoy sitting around and visiting. I look forward to seeing the group grow and meeting the children who come home to those who are still waiting. What a wonderful day!

Congrats on your first successful get together! I image the support that each family can give the others will be incredible. What a great idea, and kudos to you for having the motivation and courage to set it up and see it through! I'm glad you've met so many wonderful people through all of this! What a blessing!
I'm so glad it went so well. And I'm so glad you're meeting more and more people that you will be able to work with and relate to. What a blessing!
That sounds awesome! How fun! We are hoping to get a group together in our area too.
How wonderful! I so wish there was a picnic in the DC area...maybe I'll get on that for next year! New number??? Looking forward to hearing more!
