Haiti Adoption

Haiti Adoption: Hundreds of children who were in the adoption process when the earthquake struck have since joined their families in the U.S. under humanitarian parole. However no new adoptions are being accepted by the Haitian government at this time. Stay tuned to adoption.state.gov for up-to-date information on developments in Haiti.

I want to bring home an earthquake orphan

Wonder what it was like for an earthquake orphan? Here's a wonderful blog that gives a picture of what it was like at God's Littlest Angel's orphanage. In 2008, U.S. citizens adopted approximately 301 children from Haiti. Infants, young children, teens, and special needs children were available for adoption, as well as sibling groups. The children reside in orphanages. The Night of the Earthquake for orphans in Haiti
Haitian adoptions took several years.Some childcare's whose paperwork in the process when the earthquake hit. These parents who had already spend months and some a year, to bring their children home got a chance to expedite the adoption process and bring their children home from the chaos with humanitarian visas. Haitis Orphans come home God's Littlest Angels Orphans come home For newly orphaned children wandering the streets of Haiti's capital begging for food, it sounds like a dream come true. But agencies trying to evacuate children whose parents died in last week's earthquake have been criticized for bypassing proper adoption processes to rush them to families offering new lives in the West.

The number of orphaned children in Haiti already stood at around 380,000 before the January disaster. However, the lack of proper communications, and a chaotic situation on the ground, has raised fears that children may be shipped overseas without anyone making sure there are no extended family members alive. US Citizen's accused of children trafficing Many say that the love and concern for these children is overwhelming, but completing a quick Haitian adoption is probably not going to be a possibility. Efforts are being made to help these children, but the priority now is to save their lives. Please see how you can help do that now, while starting the paperwork to begin an adoption from Haiti.

God's Littlest Angels are collecting donations now and will be sending a shipping container to Haiti as soon as we can. For the orphanage, we always need powdered formula, nappies, baby wipes, baby cereal, infant Tylenol (paracetamol suspension), infant and children's vitamins, and baby care items such as lotion, powder, baby shampoo. We also hope to be able to assist the surrounding community with clothing, medical supplies, household items, hygiene items such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets and towels. We have also set up a fund for earthquake relief for our staff and surrounding community. Many of our staff will need assistance with home repair and funeral expenses.

The earth quake is likely to leave several thousand orphaned children. We at God's Littlest Angels are preparing to take in as many of these children as we possibly can. We are asking adoptive parents overseas to petition their governments to allow children who are in the process of being adopted to enter the countries of the families who are adopting the on humanitarian visas. Their adoptions could then be completed in their home countries, If all of our children who are currently matched with families who are been approved to adopt could be evacuated, we would be able to admit at least a hundred of the children who have been orphaned by this disaster.
