Thank’s for that link, MarMema. Maybe there is a reason why our government isn’t rushing to the aid of these folks...or not yet, anyhow. I’m not one who believes in jumpin’ the gun, to so speak, but there’s quite a bit of information being reported that has me doubting the integrity of this so-called rescue mission.
The younger and healthier the child, the higher the fee in many cases.
That busload of children was a gold mine if you knew you had evangelical connections back home to parents willing to make the second mortgage to help a child.
The media hype about kids in Haiti was just gravy for this woman.
That said I think most of the group were innocent and I don't know the specifics for Haiti, but wow, we had to climb through ten million hoops to bring a child into the US, medical too.
So I don't know where she was going to get the documents, or maybe she was planning to solicit donations forever.....
But you don't go into a disaster zone and solicit for children to place overseas. It's not ethical.
