Bullies with Money AKA UNICEF

I just came across this article Haiti By the Numbers. I was struck by the number of orphans who have been able to leave the country, compared to the number (20,000 documented orphans) that are still in Haiti. Yet there are organizations (yeah, UNICEF, I'm talking about you) who have historically been very vocal about their dislike of international adoption. And these same organizations are now working to stop documented orphans from leaving Haiti. WHY? WHY? WHY? Will there not be thousands of new orphans from this disaster? Is UNICEF planning to build new orphanages in Haiti to house them all, then feed clothe and educate each one? Or is UNICEF just a big, rich bully who pushes people around because they can? You know what, just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. UNICEF, you suck.

I have heard the same thing from several different reputable sources. UNICEF SUCKS, you are right. WHY would they do this????!?!?!?!?

Sadly to say, THEY SUCK is just about the right word for UNICEF! It frustrating, sad and disgusting what they are choosing to do, when they are the ones with deep enough pockets to bless these children with families and to bless many families here in the U.S with these adorable children and they chose not to. WRONG in so many ways.
