Adoption Advocates International (AAI) and Warm Beach Camp—imagine the international flare of Ethiopian dance, the drums of Ghana, an international talent show, and soccer, soccer, soccer.

Bev and I were thrilled to see WBC be a place for these families to gather. What a blessing… children from all around the world at WBC.
