Haiti Suspends Adoptions
Annoucement from JCICS:
"Since the earthquake Joint Council has received thousands of calls and emails from families wanting to help, wanting to start new adoptions from Haiti. It is for this reason we take a moment and remind everyone of the importance of speedy family reunification in times of crises.
As of January 12, 2010, the day of the devastating Haitian earthquake, governmental and legal procedures to process an adoption in Haiti have been impossible to carry out. Until further notice the best way to support the needs of the children in Haiti is to donate money to international aid organizations dealing with the disaster. Adoptions in Haiti cannot be processed according to Haitian or US law during the current emergency. Please consult Joint Council's Haiti Information page at www.jcics.org/haiti and http://www.adoption.state.gov/ for up to date information about adoption from Haiti.
Joint Council is working with the U.S. government to determine the impact of the devastation on the adoption process. The coming days and months will be rightly focused on rescue and reunification efforts. It will take months to fully assess the impact on new adoptions from Haiti."
From CCAI:
"At this time the earthquake has put a stop to Haiti adoptions. No new adoptions are being accepted or processed by the Haitian government at this moment. We strongly support UNICEF, Saving the Children and World Vision’s position on focusing on the reunification of the homeless children with their families in the days and weeks ahead."

CCAI Sends Aid to Haitian Orphanage
We landed at Port-au-Prince International Airport at 13:59 pm yesterday and hand delivered your contributions to the orphanage staff and volunteers in the form of water, formula, medicine, food, and $10,000.00 cash.
Maison des Enfants de Dieu, an orphanage that has been caring for about 130 kids, was badly damaged by the powerful earthquake that hit the poor Caribbean nation last on January 12, 2010. Although no children were severely hurt, their dorms were devastated beyond repair. The older children have been living under five tents and the babies are being cared for in the trunk of a big truck. Fox News and CNN managed to reach the orphanage three days after the quake, but their reports of the terrible conditions did not lead to the immediate and adequate aid of food and water that they desperately needed.
On 1/17 at 18:24, Patrick, an American missionary from Denver sent us an urgent message, pleading, “We need water, food, medicine, and charcoal quickly!!!”
We immediately contacted one of our long time supporters who had offered their family private jet for emergency use the day before. They wholeheartedly supported our request to use their plane to send supplies to the orphanage. We spent the next five hours storming several Wal-Marts and Walgreens purchasing formula, medicine, food, water, and charcoal. At 5:30 am, over 2000 pounds of supplies were loaded onto the jet and the plane took off at 6:33 am Denver time.
Five and half hours later, at 13:59 pm, we successfully landed at the war-zone like Port-au-Prince International Airport in the midst of many dozen landing and taking-off aid aircrafts and helicopters from around the world.
We were totally surprised as soon as we opened the gate. Five orphanage staff and volunteers including Patrick and his wife, Kim, were right there, ready and waiting with a SUV and a truck! We had no idea how in the world they were able to drive and park right by our plane.
We have never in my life seen people so excited, so thankful and tearful, nor who hugged so hard!
We unloaded the supplies as quick as we could and covered the truck with tarps. We offered them an advise we received prior to our departure from another pilot who has been transporting aid to Haiti the day before: Cover the supplies with tarps and let a couple of guys lie on top of it pretending dead so supplies will not be high-jacked on the way back to the orphanage.
At 16:00 pm, we left the airport with seven completely exhausted American and Belgium doctors who had been working in Haiti non-stop for over three days! A free ride in a fancy private jet could provide a little physical and emotional comfort to these heroes.
A huge thank-you to all of you unsung heroes who took action to care and to love. Thank you for entrusting us with your loving donations.

Henan Orphan Care Sponsors Needed
Ninety-three children in Henan orphanages are waiting right now for sponsors in order to live with a trained foster family or be cared for at one of the three Lily Orphan Care Centers.
Would you consider sponsoring one of these waiting children for $40 a month?
As a sponsor, you will receive quarterly reports and pictures for the child you sponsor. More importantly, you will enable an abandoned child to escape an institutional environment and receive one-on-one care that will permanently and positively impact his or her life.
For $1.30 a day, you can make an immeasurable difference!
One person or family can sponsor a child, or several families, a group of co-workers, a church group, or a group of classmates can also pitch in and sponsor a child as a group.
PLEASE reach out to a child by becoming a sponsor today! For detailed information, please contact Xia at charity@chinesechildren.org or 303-850-9998 ext 17. Thanks!!!
