… Friends in Adoption alumni families.
… At the invitation of the adoptive families, birth families are welcome to attend.
If you are not in direct contact with your child’s birth family and would like an invitation sent to them, please email us no later than June 8, 2022. Friends in Adoption will send them an invite.
Should we attend the picnic if we do not hear from our birth family?
YES! While the number of birth families in attendance has increased every year, still the majority of the families that attend the picnic (upwards of 150-200 families) — most attend without their birth families. However, if your PACA includes a picnic visit, plan to attend. We promise you will have a great time!
We have secured a pavilion and plan to enjoy music, yard games, riverfront access for cooling off, a bounce house and inflatable waterslide and more!
Tube and kayak rentals will be available.
Let’s All Meet at 1:30 pm
Please make sure to be near the Friends in Adoption Welcome area at 1:30 pm (Saturday) for our large group photo.
We would love to see your photos on social media taken at the Friends in Adoption Picnic, but we can only find them if you use the hashtag #fiapicnic2022 and post for public viewing.
You can also submit your picnic photos for Friends in Adoption to publish in our newsletters, brochures, website, etc.
Thank you in advance for sending us your photos!
