In a heartwarming event at the Magic Kingdom, siblings 10-year-old Noah and 12-year-old Mia experienced an extraordinary surprise when they encountered Mickey Mouse. These children have been in the loving care of their foster parents, Sarah and Jake Thompson, for the past three years. Upon receiving the joyous news that they would officially adopt Noah and Mia, Sarah sought a unique method to convey the momentous announcement. “They had no idea this was coming,” she shared with ICIBlog. “I chose Disney because they had never visited, and I’m the type of mom who loves making grand gestures. Some work, some don’t, but this one certainly did.”

The Thompson family organized a trip to Florida, combining a visit to Disney World with attendance at a Star Wars convention. The couple meticulously planned for the children to meet Mickey Mouse, who would reveal their adoption date through a special sign. When Sarah shared images of the custom celebration pins she created online, Disney took notice and offered assistance to ensure the plan would unfold seamlessly.

Securing the sign within the theme park without Noah and Mia catching on proved challenging, but Sarah was resolute. “I thought it would add a magical touch to the announcement,” she explained. With the help of her husband, Jake, they created the sign and kept the surprise under wraps. “Poor Jake had to carry it in a backpack, being very careful not to bend it.”

The moment was captured on video and posted on Facebook, where it quickly garnered over two million views. The footage shows the children beaming as they interact with Mickey Mouse and assist him with a card trick. Just when it seemed their encounter was winding down, a cast member announced, “I have a special message for you!” revealing the sign with their adoption date. The emotional moment brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.

Following the big reveal, Sarah expressed her delight in the family’s continued celebration. “The rest of the trip was incredible!” she exclaimed. “Soon after the announcement, Mia got to meet her favorite princess, Cinderella. We spent over 15 hours in the park that day. It was our only day there, and we truly indulged!”

Sarah is thrilled that her children will always cherish this memorable experience and is grateful that the video has resonated with so many viewers. She hopes it encourages others to consider foster care positively. “By sharing this video, I aim to shed light on foster care and inspire individuals thinking about becoming a foster parent to pursue it or grant a wish to a foster child. They receive what they need, but not always what they desire.”
