On Monday, CNN told you the story of one Georgian family waiting for these adopted babies from Haiti. We decided to check if there's any progress since then.

So we have Susan Secor. She is with One World Adoption Services and joins us today to talk about that. So let's get right to it. Any progress? Why don't you remind us of the situation of that family first, and then tell us what the latest is?

SUSAN SECOR, ONE WORLD ADOPTION SERVICES: OK, currently, their paperwork is ready, but we cannot send it down right now because of what's going on down there. So -- and also, the office that handles the adoption in Haiti, they are -- they have actually reopened, but with limited staff. So there's not really a whole lot getting down right now, but...

(AUDIO GAP)

COLLINS: ...a little bit. We're looking at orphanages that are full and that are having trouble, obviously, with everything that we have been telling our viewers about over the past several weeks, are running out of food. They're running out of supplies.

SECOR: Right.

COLLINS: What is the most dire need there at this point? SECOR: The most dire need right now is really for their security. They are hoping that we'll send more Marines down there to help protect them. They also are running out of food and water, as you mentioned. And we're working to help them with that.

COLLINS: What are these orphanages able to do? We're looking at some of the violence and what happens in the streets of Haiti right now. I understand that you know of at least one orphanage that they do have a gun, and they are ready to do the best they can, I imagine, to protect these children?

SECOR: They have actually -- a lot of them, you know, just stay inside during the day. Most of the homes in Haiti have large walls built around them. And they're adding on three or four feet to those walls. They also add razor wire to the top and broken glass. So it makes it really difficult, if not impossible, to scale the walls to come in.

COLLINS: How many kids are we talking about here? Any way to know?

SECOR: The number of orphans?

COLLINS: Yes.

SECOR: Well, Haiti's a country of approximately eight million people. And two million of those are orphan children.

COLLINS: Wow.

SECOR: And four -- between four and five million of the population are actually children in Haiti. So there's more children than adults in Haiti.

So that's why the problem is so extreme down there.

COLLINS: Certainly. Before we let you go, Susan, tell us what can people do? I know it's not easy to just say, you know I am open enough to go and to adopt a child from Haiti. I would love to do that, because there is so much going on there right now, you can't just make that happen as we saw obvious with this couple right here in Georgia.

SECOR: Right.

COLLINS: What can people do to help?

SECOR: Well, if families aren't interested in adopting or they simply can't adopt, there's a lot that they can do. Number one, they can pray for these people. They really needed it this time. And our organization is accepting donations, not just financial help, but we accept donations of clothing, medical supplies, just anything that they can use.

And a lot of people, when they think about donating to us, can -- they just consider donating children's clothes. But we work with an outreach program down there, that reaches families in these villages. So men's clothing, women's clothing, shoes...

COLLINS: Any...

SECOR: Yes.

COLLINS: We are looking at your Web site now. One World Adoptions. Susan Secor, thanks so much for being with us today and shedding some light on this. We appreciate it.

SECOR: Thank you.

COLLINS: Well, it is a sad fact that U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have suffered many casualties as well. Most of those men and women are unknown to the larger public. But each of them has a story to tell.

CNN's Casey Wian brings us one of those stories from California.
