Recently, with the natural disaster that took place in Haiti, many people started to adopt children in Haiti, but is this correct?
Accordig to UNICEF and DIF (Mexico), people must wait. These institutions recognize that adpoting a child is a very noble action, but we must look forward to their well being before anything. These children have been through many awful things; they probably lost their parents, siblings, school and home. They are still in shock. So, UNICEF and DIF agree that first of all, they must be taken to a safe place, with food, clothes, vaccines or any other thing needed. It is necessary to put their rights above all. Moreover, adoption processes cannot be taken as regular since people who do this and their bulidings are not available, and this can lead to children trade and make the situation worse. Taking the children will not help, because many still have parents who are looking for them.
If people really want to help, they can provide with food, clothes and money, but adopting a children, is not a good option yet. We must keep in mind that these children are still going through a hard situation and that it is not fair to just take them away.
