Daddy and I are starting to get ready for our trip to see you. In a week and a half your world is going to change forever. You will be introduced into your forever family and Mommy, Daddy and Daisy will take care of you while we are in Africa. You will have to say goodbye to your home, your 26 friends, and your sweet caretakers. We know it is going to be overwhelming and we know that these people are all you have ever known and you have a deep bond with them. It breaks my heart that you, at such a young age have had to go through being moved around so many times. I promise that this is it. Once we get you, we will be your forever family. So, I pray with all my heart that you adjust well. That you feel the immense love we have for you. We will always have pictures of your caretakers and friends and one day I'm sure we will take you back to visit. I wish so badly that we could take some of your friends home with us, if it was possible we would take as many as we could. Maybe one day later we will. In your pictures I see how much the other kids love you. I see that they take care of you like you are their little brother. So, little Gideon we will get through it together. We are going to have so much fun playing and exploring Africa. We love you and can't wait to get our hands on you.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
Our hearts are overwhelmed with sadness for the other children in the orphanage. I feel like that bad person in the movies who comes and picks the younger cuter baby and leaves the older ones. I do know that God has a plan for the other kids and that they may have sweet parents picked for them. That is my prayer.
