Lucky Haiti Orphans Found Open Arms, New Homes

From Denny: Always in a terrible disaster like the Haiti earthquake of 12 January, just three weeks ago, there are those who get rescued and brought out to a new life elsewhere. At the time of these news stories over 90 orphans have been brought to United States to meet new parents.

Orphans denied as Haiti backlogs on adoptions, ferreting out whether they are legitimate or child trafficking:

Twins Ethan and Brecken are all smiles. The vast majority of these were adoptions already in process that the Haitian government was aware to be legitimate.

Mission of Hope Run by American in Haiti

From Denny: A few years before the disaster struck in Haiti, American Brad Johnson decided to move there and help the people in his parents' ongoing Christian mission to Haiti. He was in a unique position to help after the earthquake as he already had an established school, an orphanage and a medical clinic operating, along with plenty of supplies. His mission is just outside of Port-au-Prince. He is busy distributing supplies to survivors and has been within hours of when the disaster hit.
