The Most Helpless

As you all know I am passionate about children and adoption. I believe that every child deserves a family! So here is my way to help some of the children in Haiti that have families already waiting for them in the US. I have a wonderful, intelligent and very connected friend in Mississippi named Kim Haney. She has set up a website that you can write to and express your concern for the children that are already in the process of adoption to come home to their adoptive parents.

The Haitian children are one of the most vunerable people in Haiti right now. Many of the Children's homes have been damaged and there are many children living one the streets now with their nannies and caretakers. Those who still have the buildings to live in are still in dire need of food, water and medicines. Our government can relieve some of that stress by allowing the children that have already been matched with parents to come home.

The Netherlands is allowing all of the children that have been matched with Dutch citizens to enter their country. They have sent a plane to retrieve these children and have promised to report to the Haitian authorities when they are up and running. Will you please take the time to write to this website so these letters can be used to spur the American government on. They have stated they will look at the situation on a case by case basis. However, time is of the essence and these children are running out of time. We are not asking to allow illegal immigrants in our country, just children into the waiting arms of their forever families.

Once these children can come home the children's homes in Haiti can turn their attention to the children that have now become orphans due to this earthquake. There are many more children that will need the attention and care of the many who have dedicated their lives to the orphans of Haiti.
