The children of Haiti

I'm sure all of you have been following the news on the Haiti Earthquake. Last Thursday, Envoye Special did a live documentary on Haiti. Even though I didn't understand it all it was heartbreaking to watch, especially when there was a short documentary on the orphans in Haiti.
There are a lot of couples here in France waiting for their babies who are in Haiti, as the adoption process here is very thorough and takes years. A couple who just visited their 3.5 year old boy in Haiti received news that their little boy died in the earthquake. A few other couples in the documentary were more lucky as their kids were all accounted for and were OK. In fact, after the documentary was aired, the French Government accelerated the adoption process and last night's news showed the babies arriving for their new life in France.
But there are still thousands of orphans in Haiti waiting to be adopted. Thousands of babies who are in need of better living conditions, food and water, a family to love them. And here, there are ready couples who want to adopt but are deterred by the adoption process which is not only long but expensive.

These Haitian children are tough little cookies, some of the survivors were found only after 3 to 5 days without food and water, and as they were pulled from the rubble, they were smiling. A 16 month old girl was rescued after 3 days. She walked to the rescuer, following the light. When I see all these children on TV, I kept telling Fred that we should try to adopt one of them, but Fred says it could be years before we will get our baby.
We would like to find out more about the adoption process in France - if any of you out there have an inkling, please share with us.
In the meantime, please pray for Haiti, especially the innocent children and please give generously.
