Noel, I’m glad your son is sleeping safely at home now. I agree that there is a great deal of misunderstanding about the word “orphan”. It is legally defined word, and the legal definition is not the same as the common usage definition, which always spells trouble for general understanding. “Orphan” does not mean no living parents. Pafents the world over can either relinquish or abandon their children. The absence of someone to raise a child makes the child an “orphan”.

To start with I would go to these sites and comment in the blog section with a link back to your article. If you get enough links back if anyone searches Haiti adoption your article will come up. I do this regularly and it really drives relevant traffic to an idea.That would be my immediate choice in the short run.In the long run I'd contact these outlets and tell them about your interest in writing an article as an expert. Pitch the idea. It's a hot topic right now. They may want to interview you….instead of taking your entire article.

I tried submitting last week's blog on UNICEF and International adoption to Salon, but heard nothing. Anyone have any contacts at Salon, the Huffington Post, or the NYTimes?

I agree completely Dawn. It boils down to ultimately respecting the culture and the law, even in times of social distress. Good intentions paving the way to hell and everything with that. I believe they meant good but no good can come out of the example. Their actions, if sanctified, pave the way for child trafficking for all the reasons we don't want. Hague Convention!Yes, I think this article could easily be submitted to any reputable outlet. NYTimes? Seriously. Well written.

Exactly! And thank goodness, so far at least, that is how most Christian groups are treating it rather than a cause celeb.
