A Bill to Help Hatian Missionaries and their adopted children

This new post from Kim Bentrott explains the limbo that many American parents who adopted Haitian children before the earthquake are in...they were able to leave Haiti under humanitarian parole in January, but now that their adoptions are final in the U.S., they still cannot become citizens because of a provision in the humanitarian parole legislation. Bills have been introduced in both the House and the Senate to remedy this...a situation that is keeping the Bentrotts and other missionaries like the Livesays from returning to Haiti with their now legally adopted children and continuing their work. (Until the children are citizens, they cannot get visas, for one thing.) So, if you are interested (even mildly so), please visit this link below or click on the link to Adventures in Life on the right rail of this blog, and read how you might urge your own representative or senators to cosponsor this bill. Right now it has been in a committee for a month....
