Who to contact and how…

It is imperative that the people, who love these Haitian kids, come together and be heard. As a parent, as an Auntie, as a friend, and just as a human being.

Please believe that your email, your phone call, your voice MATTERS. It's real, and you have the power to make a difference for Remy and Erlande. For the other 254 children is the same situation ours are in.

Here is the contact information. It took me about 20 minutes. Please pass this along. To everyone you know. Share our blog address, our face book page, and encourage people to put a real face to this tragedy.

What do you say? This is what I told them. Please feel free to use as is, or add your own comments. However, there are a couple key points that MUST be made. They are in bold.

Please issue humanitarian parole visas to Haitian children with US parents. These children are not 'new' orphans, and have families that have been in the process of adopting them prior to the earthquake. These children need to be removed from Haiti and brought home safely. This would allow the children orphaned by the earthquake to be taken in and cared for the orphanage, which is currently at capacity. As an American Citizen I ask that you make a way for this to be accomplished quickly.

I will be trying to update the blog regularly. I encourage you to share the blog address, and to tell our story. It's actually very awkward to ask for the attention. But the attention is needed for Remy and Erlande to come home.

Speaking of attention, as soon as KOIN 6 puts our interview online, I will post it.

Thank you for your willingness to act on our children's benefit.
