8th December 2008

Hello Friends and Family ~ 

It's a GORILLA! We are excited to announce our newest bundle of joy -- a baby boy gorilla, born on December 8, 2008 at six pounds.

It's been a decade since a baby gorilla was born at the San Francisco Zoo and we are proud to be a part of the amazing conservation efforts taking place, through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan.

We look forward to introducing you to our baby boy and hope you'll come visit us in-person at the Jones Family Gorilla Preserve. Our little one is not out with the family troop for everyone to enjoy, but you can see him being cared for by our wonderful keepers on a new nursery cam that is just outside our exhibit.

In advance, we want to thank you for supporting our baby gorilla. All gifts, no matter how big or small, are certainly appreciated.  As a token of our appreciation, for gifts of $25 or more, we'll send you an electronic photo and foot print of our little love. Just include your email address when you register for a gift.

All Our Love,

Oscar Jonesy, Monifa and Surrogate Mom-to-Be...Bawang

Testimonials (from people related to this event)

 
"I think that it is really a clever and wonderful thing to offer a "baby" registry to allow people to assist with the needs of raising Hasani, the baby gorilla at San Francisco Zoo. Your site was very user friendly and thank you for supporting such an important cause."

Katelyn Daugherty (Guest)

"I was very impressed with my recent experience at BabyWishingWell.com. The interface was very user friendly, and easy to use overall. I especially liked the feature where you could put money toward an item that may be too expensive to purchase on my own or all at once ... I could not be happier with my recent use of this service."

Nikki and Shawn Bryant (Guest)
