We get a lot of serious questions from the children. They ask things like, "Where's my Mama?" "Why can't I fly on an airplane to America?" "Do I have parents too?"
"Where are my parents?"
To answer these heartbreaking inquiries, nannies and staff alike assure the children that they do have families. Each one of them has a mama and a baba who love them desperately. They just haven't found them yet. There are parents out there for each of the kids, we remind them often, and right now, at this very moment, those parents are frantically searching and looking for their child. They're very own Noah... or Lucy... or Joshua.
Joshua knows the routine by heart. He's experienced the excitement that comes when a child discovers that their parents found them. And over the years, his excitement has often led to grief, because his family still hasn't found him.
Being the rational, logical, and brilliant kid that Joshua is, he's determined the cause for the fact that he's still parent-less. These are his very own words, his excuse, for why his parents haven't found him:
"My parents are busy, that's why they haven't found me yet. They're just very busy. Too busy."
