At the end of last year, American authorities denied the petition of a couple here, Marc and Teresa Stroot, to adopt the brother and sister after their biological father opposed relinquishing custody.

Reluctantly, Mr. and Mrs

“It’s definitely a miracle,” Mrs. Stroot said of their arrival here, “because this wasn’t going to happen.”

Fuck off. It wasn't going to happen because their biological father didn't want it to happen and a deadly national disaster is not a ~miracle just because you got what you somehow seem to feel you were entitled to: other people's fucking children.

One Kansas lawyer said he satisfied a judge’s questions about whether the Haitian boy his clients had adopted was an orphan by broadcasting announcements on Haitian radio stations over two days, urging any relatives of the child to come forward if they wanted to claim him.

What. The. Hell. Two days? Like really? Do I need to go tell this judge that a child is not a puppy?! FFS.

“That’s the thing that’s so different about Haiti,” Ms. Groen said. “It’s not full of unwanted children. It’s full of children whose families are too poor to provide for them.”

But you're still going to adopt them anyway, even though you know two of them have families that love and want them but just aren't able to care for them. If you love them so much, why not spend some of that money to help them be able to reunite with their families?

UGH UGH UGH. So much gross, I can't process it all. D:
