I read something last night about pilots refusing to fly out orphans because of this case and the concern regarding legitimate paperwork. This is indeed a sad case for the harm to the orphans in the long term.
I understand their point
The Haitian Government is very, very sensitive to the baby selling trade — many times that trade leads to what is essentially slavery.
They may be somewhat powerless, but I can also see their concern spike with the crisis at hand. As with the missionaries, I honestly think their hearts are in the right place.
I am sure that, now the smoke has settled, the judges will release the Missionaries and I think this does make their point: “We are not totally lawless.”
