Haiti Orphanage Update from JCICS

It is JCICS"sunderstanding that there are 200+ children on the way to the U.S. Embassy in Haiti. It is our understanding that the situation at the Embassy is very chaotic with hundreds of people outside. If at all possible, we ask that orphanages do not go to the Embassy for processing.

JCICS has given a list of orphanages to the the DOS, it is our understanding that they are in the process of contacting each orphanage with instructions. JC is also providing DOS w/updates as information is given to us from families and adoption service providers.
