The arrest of a group of Baptists for child trafficking in Haiti illustrates the deep complexities of international child welfare. I was appalled at the sheer ignorance of these folks … they have done tremendous damage. So very sad for everyone.
Saddest is that every resource focused on this trial means fewer going to earthquake survivors.

Well… ring leader Laura Silsby certainly has some financial problems back home: foreclosure, multiple civil suits, etc.. It's gonna be HARD to convince the public she was in Haiti doing the Lawds work.
you and I know damn well what those people were up to.
they deserve to get the fullest sentencing the law provides. and NO interference by the USA.
For the amount of money spent to “save” one orphan by finding an adoptive home in the US, the entire orphanage could be helped … $25,000 would buy a lot of bedding, food, medicine and educational materials. Add in all the money the church will spend trying to defend these people and you have a lot of children who aren't going to be helped because the media glamorizes foreign orphanages.
Gay people can't adopt from Haiti, but Christians can steal children from their families to give to deserving infertile families.
