This orphanage is run by the family of a friend of mine. She sent an e-mail asking for prayer...what the Haitian government is doing to these children is terrible.

CNN should be covering this today, we don't have cable and I am very curious as to how this was covered. Has anybody seen it? Thanks for indulging me!

Also, please keep the children and their waiting ‘forever families’ in your prayers. Thank you.

These Haitians called the police and our children and staff were taken, illegally ...

Illegally? Illegal by Haitian law or ours?
With the amount of trafficking in children these days I couldn't blame the Haitian police or people for being careful. Clearing it with the local police and obtaining a police escort would have avoided the incident.

One more clarification, these are not children who were orphaned by the earthquake, their adoptions were underway before the quake hit. The Haitian government is trying to move the paperwork more quickly in order to make room in orphanages for children left orphans by the earthquake.
