Haiti has imposed new controls on adoptions since the earthquake, which left thousands of children parentless or separated from their families. The government now requires Prime Minister Max Bellerive to personally authorize the departure of any child as a way to prevent child trafficking.

the pastor obtained most of the children from “distant relatives” who couldn’t care for them.

they were being helped by Christians in Haiti and the Dominican Rep. and did get all of the paper work that they were told that they needed. I am very sure that the communications over there are sparse at best. They were unaware until they reached the border that it had been declared that a paper signed by the Haitian President was needed. One of the ladies drove back to Port o Prince to get the paper signed and when she returned the others had been arrested.

often when I read a story of Americans in a foreign land in trouble... I can only think... "stupid Americans"... not as an insult to all Americans.. but in the way foreigners often think of US... that we think we can do stupid things and it will be alright.. and all will be forgiven.. as is sometimes the case... a former president flys over... and the two "journalists" are freed.. or the hikers are released.. we all know the story... some times they come home to a hero's welcome.. sometimes the media just forgets about them and they rot in a foreign jail.. often for doing something stupid.. but not criminal..

but this story touched a different nerve.. here is a group trying to help in the worst of conditions... with paperwork that a week before would have been just fine, ... and when stopped... they even try to correct the problem.. but are arrested...

what I see different is how the Obama administration is handling this issue..

there was no outrage.. there was even word of returning them to the US for a fair trial.. say what?

is it just me or is there something wrong here?... a church group,... and the only response our president's administration can come up with is .. oh they are busy,.. so send them home and we will try, convict and jail um for you? ..

I say... if our president can't stand up for all stupid Americans of every race, creed or religion doing stupid things in strange lands.. there is something far wrong in DC...

be it hikers, teen journalists or orphan helpers... they all should return to the US for their five minutes of fame.. and a book tour.. and not just be shoved under Obama's bus...
