I know it would be an incredibly long, hard, trip for him, and that you will probably have your hands more than full with the family that is the reason for this trip -- but I wish there were some way you could tuck Aaron into your suitcase and take him along. I wish the directors at his former orphanage could see him now. See all the progress he's made. See that adoption isn't the "horror story" they've undoubtedly heard multiple times. See that there really IS HOPE for these kids their society "trashes" as "worthless.
And, maybe, just maybe, help unlock doors to free more of those "lost boys" by making them available for adoption.
Again, probably not possible -- but it sure would be nice (if he's physically and emotionally up to it, that is).

I donated $10! You continue to inspire and educate me, Julia, and I am so thankful there is a way for us to help you finance this trip!
