Wilt - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

As an adopted child myself, I have to say it's different with every adopted person out there. Some of them are quite determined to find their family, no matter what the costs be them financially or emotionally. Others, are quite content with the fact their family gave them up for a better life, and are happy to stay with their new family.

But either way, Wilt does seem to have that feeling around him that he doesn't remember his creator, not much if at all. Maybe all he has to go on is some vague memories he has, or even nick nacks he has in that little hobo stick? When he suffered his obvious trauma to the head he could have lost some of his memories, thus when he was located as a stray wandering the streets he couldn't tell anyone where he origionally came from. Who knows how far Wilt went to get to Fosters? It's obviously a long way, or he may believe it's a long way, if we see the guys taking a bus cross country and even taking a plane.

. . . be ironic if his creator lived in the same city as he has been all these years.

But this movie does remind me of both the Sesame Street movie of Big Bird going cross country, as well as the Mother's Day Special of Alvin & the Chipmunks when they head out into the wilderness to find their mother while all they have to go on is where they used to live. That was one of the best episodes I ever saw of that show.
