Haiti’s orphans

Watching the incredible survival stories out of Haiti makes me realize how resilient children can be. The five year old who was pulled out of the rubble today, after being trapped for eight days, is a miracle.

But even as a few lucky children are saved, the survivors must facing such heartache. Thousands must be newly orphaned – in addition to the tens of thousands who were already orphaned before the catastrophe began.

I can’t stop thinking about those kids, even as I’m looking after my own.
