How can we help Haiti???

This is how...

I just talked to a woman for a long time at Dillon International (a faith based adoption and Orphan Care agency) and she said the best thing to do right now is to go donate on line at their website (www.dillonadopt.com) to get money directly to their directors that survived the quake. They have been in touch and everyone survived, however, they are running out of water and food and gasoline to keep the generators running. She also said they HAVE gotten approval to get some emergency visas for kids that were ready to be adopted... The State Department has approved that on our end...thank God! They are now waiting for a 'safe house' near the embassy to be set up so they can take the kids in to town and get the needed paperwork done so those kids can go home...its just not safe enough right now to travel with the babies! She also gave me this site...www.usfch.org...this is the Orphanage and Hospital they support through donations given on line. She said 100%, let me say again, 100% goes to these Orphans at this Hospital! As far as signing up now to be an adoptive family to a Haitian Orphan...it will be at least a year before kids who were Orphaned from the earthquake will be even considered for adoption...the priority, obviously, with these kids will be to reunite them with family, if any survived! Many people have asked, so I thought I would post this...please go check out these sites! They need so much right now!
