Haitian Adoptions & The Crooks
Okay, the news today is about the Baptists and the children they spirited out of Haiti to the Dominican Republic. I’m wondering how the story will end, but while it may have been “heartfelt,” it was really a dumb thing to do. I.e., we need passports to get into Canada these days and they think they can move children to from one country to the next? C’mon!
Moving on…
Adoption ISN’T happening out of Haiti EXCEPT for children who were already in the process. If you didn’t have a “horse in the race” before the earthquake, go home!
Here’s the problem, as I see it. Lots of folks with bleeding hearts–if you aren’t feeling a little pain, you aren’t alive. First of all GIVE. Give through your local church–if they are sending 100% to Haiti. Give to the Red Cross. Give to Global International Outreach. Don’t complain about Secretary Clinton or the State Department. They’re doing what is right! Trust me on this one.
Secondly, pray about adoption in the future. Alright, you say that God has spoken to you. Well…have you ever asked Him about adopting in the past? Or, did Fox News stir your heart? Well…pray about adoption and adopting as if He just might have a child in mind other than one from Haiti. Give us a call at New Beginnings, Google “adoption.” Check out AdoptUSKids.com or call your local Human Service Department. Some child’s life and future may be dependent on your prayers.
Still interested in Haiti? I’ll post something once in awhile, but GO TO THE SOURCE…www.Adoption.State.Gov. This is THE BEST SITE ON HAITIAN ADOPTION so quit looking for some other answer.
Please, if some bozo at some adoption agency says they can get you a Haitian child, trust me…RUN! Until Secretary Clinton and the State Department say “OK,” it isn’t going to happen. Just think…”Baptists in jail as Tom types.” And by all means…DO NOT GIVE ANYONE MONEY TO START YOUR CASE. AND, DON’T DO A HOMESTUDY…unless you spending money on an update in a few months or years is worth more expense. You can locate a good provider and then keep that cash in your wallet…until Haiti really opens up.

Now…pray for the children
