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.

When you adopt internationally you pay a fee to the "finder" of the child. Currently Bethany is listing the Haitian incountry fee as 12 grand per child.

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.
