I dont know if they were mean or just misguided (from the pictures, some look quite young) but IF they did focus on suffering parents instead of already orphaned children,,it was a huge mistake in my opinion.

answer me this then, since there's right and wrong ways to go about it.....

you are aware that Obama pardoned all ILLEGAL haitians from deportation right?, they broke the law and were in this country illegally, at least these missionaries had permission slips to take the children to another country.....will they be pardoned....doubt it.....two wrongs don't make a right, so you send these kids back to an impoverished home and they end up diseased and uneducated, yes that should make everyone happy.


I don't agree with what Obama did. But then my family came here LEGALLY and by the book, and I have issues with those who don't.

I tend to have a harsher view on things. Unfortunately, while it's sad that Haiti is the way it is, there are enough issues here in this country that need to be fixed, that aren't happening, and we keep loading the population in this country up even more. Death and disease is a way of life. We have children wanting and needing to be adopted here, we have people needing health care and education here. Fix US before another country.

Of course, this view could be because my teeth are acting up again due to the weather, from the swelling and fluids, I probably have a small hole running through my sinus cavities and I have no extra money to get in and get it all fixed. Life's a *****! Now where's my tea tree oil, echinacea, and sweet clove oil.



I think , sadly , perception and image count for alot. It wont be popular but Im going to say it,,,,american kids are pretty much seen as unappreciative and spoiled,,difficult. Kids from these impoverished countries are assumed to be more appreciative and responsible and that perception probably plays a LARGE part in their being adopted. I mean noone is rushing to any of the countries with a western culture to adopt their kids,,its just a different culture that many arent pleased with when it comes to the kids.

what we had here is a failure to communicate!!

but i think the leader of the group should have been responsible
for clearing any adoption activities with the proper authorities!!

Right, I agree. Have they said for sure what understanding the leader was under? Was her crime due to ignorance of the laws or flat out defiance?

^sad, but basically true, however I'll say this...it's easy to teach an A student.....you get the point as it applies to parenting as well.
