We support the thinking of the director of King's Kids Worldwide (www.kings-kids.ca) based out of BC. They are an NGO that has been providing medical support to established orphanages in Haiti for 10 years; and have two staff on the ground in Haiti providing humanitarian aid at this time. We agree with King's Kids Worldwide that the governments of Haiti and Canada should provide humanitarian parole for children who are already identified as orphans to bring them to Canada to this or other facilities for care (and private homes who have already adopted children and are, therefore, known to the government by home studies and other approvals). The children in question have already been in established orphanages (that NGO's have worked with in the past) for an extended period of time. Paperwork is already in place to confirm guardianship with the orphanage directors.

I have been staring at the email inbox for hours trying to find the right words to send to the ministry about these kids because the stories keep popping up in my head while I try to sleep. It feels like the bureaucracy is just a giant wall but we have to keep knocking on it anyway since those children are waiting for a life that actually allows them to breathe.

Heartbreaking to think of them sitting there waiting while the red tape keeps them stranded. Fix this now.

Just let them come home. The families are ready and the paperwork is done. Stop stalling and get them here.

These kids have been through enough already. Canada needs to step up and open the doors for them instead of leaving them in such a helpless situation.
