‘Senior members of the Obama<\/a> administration approved the illegal removal of 12 Haitian children from a Port-au-Prince orphanage to Pennsylvania last month even though the children were not up for adoption in the US<\/a> and some were not orphans.<\/p>\n

The move contravened US<\/a> law on international adoptions as well as the terms of a “humanitarian parole” that was issued by the US<\/a> government<\/a> on Jan 18, the day the children were evacuated, in order to fast-track existing adoption cases.<\/p>\n

Those terms stated that only children that had been matched with parents in the US<\/a> should be allowed to leave Haiti, amid fears that traffickers could exploit the confusion and turmoil of a disaster zone after similar incidents in countries affected by the 2004 tsunami in Asia.’<\/p>\n
