Too Simple of a Solution?

My heart has been breaking as I've watched the scenes coming out of Haiti. What keeps coming back to me over and over again is just how poor this small country was and now this. Even on our very worst day, we live so much better than any of them ever did on their very best day.

We've see benefits and people making donations from all around the world, but there seems to be one area that no one is seriously looking at--All the new orphans. It's been with tear-filled eyes that I've watched news report after news report of people being united with their children, but these are children that were already in process. What about those that haven't found their forever families yet? What about all the "new" orphans that have come because of this tragedy?
The Hague agreement aside, why can't there be expedited EMERGENCY adoptions? There are so many people who are ready, willing and able to take on one, two, three new family members.

No, we're not talking about wealthy people. Not people with huge houses, six-figure incomes and pony rides. Just good, hard-working people who are willing to love and care for someone that needs love and caring RIGHT NOW. I've heard so many people say, "We'd be willing to take in a child or two if the cost and government red-tape wasn't blocking the way." It would be a win/win. The children would have families and the families would be getting them out of the devastation.

Is it illogical for me to make it so simple? If you have previously adopted (domestic or international) you automatically qualify for adopting from Haiti. All that would need to be run is a background check to make sure you've been behaving yourself. :) For anyone that has adopted before, you know the hoops you've had to jump through, the mounds of paperwork involved. You're life is an opened book. Why duplicate all that when it's already been done? Just pay a small fee to defray the cost of transporting the child(ren) from Haiti to a central location in the U.S., and badda-bing, badda-boom... Adoption complete.

For those who have never adopted before, what's more important -- getting those children out of that suffering or doing 3-4 home studies and spending years, just to make sure you have outlet covers in place? Seems a little shallow. Let's get those kids out of there and into forever family homes. Come on, Uncle Sam. We're asking for an exception--and a miracle.
