Haiti's Orphans

There's a good article on CNN.com that explains the Haiti orphan situation. The orphans that are being airlifted out seem to be those that have been in process for some time. Understandably, there is a hesitation to find foreign families for the vast majority of other orphans until it can be established that they are truly orphaned and not just separated from family members.

Sadly worldwide there are lots of orphaned children that need families (but are not "paper ready") and lots of families waiting years and years for the small number that are.
