I just received word on my Canadians Adopting From Haiti Facebook group that some MPs are stressing to CONTINUE sending emails to Mr. Kenney. So just copy and paste this bad boy (thanks Melanie) and pass it along to him if you don't mind! (from several different email addresses...or send it once for each member of your family and have everyone sign it once...even the kiddos! haha)




Dear Member of Parliament, I am writing to you with the interests of Haitian children in mind. Many Canadians are currently waiting for children that are staying in Haitian orphanages to join their family. Most of them are facing the very real fear that their paperwork has been lost which is unthinkable for families who have sacrificed financially and emotionally and waited months and years for their child to come home. Those who have been matched with a Haitian child have been through Canada’s stringent process of determining suitability for international adoption and have been approved. The unfortunate reality is that these children are likely facing a long stay in orphanages without our intervention. They are also most definitely being joined by other children in desperate need, putting stress on an already overtaxed system. If you can do anything to support a quickened process in these days, it would be much appreciated. To think that these children will have to live through further chaos and heartache is almost unimaginable when they have Canadian families waiting for them to come home. It is saddening to think that they may spend more time in a country that is reeling from this latest in a long line of disasters that have affected not just the infrastructure of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, but the basic needs for daily life. We are calling for the Canadian government to lobby Haitian officials for quick approval to adoptions currently in the approval system as one means of providing aid to a country in serious need. If Haitian officials can agree that the Canadian vetting process is sufficiently stringent, and can quickly pass through the required paperwork for existing adoption processes, it will go a long way to free up orphanages to provide help to the mass of new children that are affected by this catastrophe. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Thank you!
