BAXTER, Minn. - Beechestore and Rosecarline, two Haitian teenagers in the throes of puberty, were not supposed to be adopted.

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

This is so unbelievably gross.

I can't get over how the people who took Beechestore and Rosecarline are talking about it -- I wouldn't exactly call stealing two kids away from their family and friends in the middle of a disaster of monumental proportions a miracle or the work of god.

Maybe they forgot how to spell "kidnapping" and "trafficking."

Fucking human trafficking, how does it work?

I started reading this thinking it was going to be a happy feel good article, I had a smile on my face and everything... And then I kept reading. Yeah, now I'm thinking about diving head first into my mom's makeshift liquor cabinet.

CHILDREN ARE NOT TOYS. THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES AND CULTURES MATTER.

I get why people want to adopt and I can support the notions. But you are adopting a person. Not a thing. The circumstances of their lives need to be fucking taken into account.

And if they have a father that wants to keep them? Then you're not their parents.

You mean children aren't like Pokemons? You can't collect them all?

“God got done in 10 days,” Mr. Stroot said, “something human beings couldn’t do in years.”

This quote pissed me off so much. So much of this article pisses me off. This is definitely one of the most heinous things that happen after disasters. I mean, some of these kids still have relatives around. Sickening.

If God set up the situation that a earthquake would hit Haiti and built up the social, political and economic situation so that it couldn't recover quickly so rich people from the United States could adopt two kids with a father who already wants to keep them than that God is not worth thanking.

[fishphile]

I know. It's like, "Yea! God killed a couple hundred thousand folks and made whole sections of a country unlivable for millions more so we could rip a couple of teenagers from their father's arm! Yea! Isn't God great?"

Fuck this.

Agreed. Agreed so much.
