Adoption of Haitian Children Not Practical at This Time
The number of unclaimed children in Haiti is growing in the wake of the earthquake, but adoption's not the practical way to help at this time.
"The problem with actually starting adoption right now is that we don’t know which children are orphans and which aren't," said Tom Difilipo, president and CEO of the U.S. branch of the Joint Council on International Children's Services, which secures homes for orphaned children around the world.
What about the 380,000 children already identified? If their adoptions could be expedited there would be more resources for those that victims of the earthquake.
