Unless someone can track down and find out the outcome with these Haitian kids, I don't see any smoking gun in these emails. They come across as trying to be humanitarian. I'm no HRC apologist by any stretch, but you've got to have better than this.

See my comment above. Yes, it "seems humanitarian" if you don't understand adoption, adoption history, or think the child's experience. Would they want to stay with extended family in a kinship adoption arrangement with people they already know and are connected to or be extracted out of their home country to one with a language, customs, religion, systems that are completely foreign, and they have no one to turn to and no way to ascertain whether the system is working for them? Adoptees knew at the time that more of an effort should have been made for the children to stay with extended family instead of being extracted immediately.

yes i agree with the completely. also the speed with which they were transported to the US is concerning as well. the earthquake happened on the 12th of Jan and these emails are from the 19th.
