Why don"t groups like this extend the same concern for thousands of American children who need good homes? Is there more prestige with a poor black foreign child? giwi

They do but reporting on the good is usually not news worthy. Look at all the churches in the area. Look how many of them have youth groups that are open to everyone. Look at some of the churches that have buses to pick up the kids. Look how many of the churches have food pantries, give out help to people that need it. They do ALOT you just dont hear about the good.
The people in Haiti keep having these kids and they can't support them and there is no welfare there so they give them to an orphanage.
