Celebration of Children Reunion 2008 

On Saturday July 19th, more than 1200 people from all over the U.S. enjoyed a great day at Forest Park in Noblesville Indiana as FTIA families and friends participated in the 2008 Celebration of Children Reunion. It was a bright sunny day filled with much visiting, eating, playing, relaxing and general good times. Children of all ages enjoyed the playgrounds, carousel, miniature golf, old trains at the Transportation Museum, face painting, games, Radio Disney, and other activities.

Here are a few photos from the day for you to enjoy. We will post more as we receive them. Our official photographers, Ramsey Cloutier Fine Portraits, also have photos available for purchase through their website. They can be viewed by clicking on the "Main Site" link, then on the "Client" tab and entering the password "ftia2008" (all lower case without spaces). Email them to place your order.

Plans for the 2009 Celebration of Children Reunion are already underway. We will return to Forest Park on Saturday, July 18, 2009. Mark your calendars now for this special day!

Thanks to everyone for helping make this another great day by your presence, volunteering, bringing food, and sharing your joy in your family. Every year the reunion reminds us in a special way of the rewards of our work. We thank you for being part of our family and consider it a privilege to share your adoption journey.

See you next year!
Your FTIA Team
