How can I adopt an orphan from Haiti?

Can you adopt Haiti kids?

• Answer:

  At times of war and natural disaster, we receive calls from parents wondering if it is possible to adopt orphans from these countries. Unfortunately the answer is no, and the reasons are simple: In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, it is often difficult to determine if a child is truly an orphan. Families become separated and it might take many months to find each other. Once it has been ascertained that a child is an orphan, it may take many more months to determine if there is any extended family who might be able to provide a home for the child Areas may be unsafe, making it dangerous for adoption workers and adoptive parents to travel to, or within, the country. Local governments are often fully occupied, providing aid and restoring basic services - the bodies that would ordinarily handle adoptions are often not available.
