Prayers for these children

On January 19th.( in the bitter cold) fifty three Haitian orphans were flown into Pittsburgh International airport. From there they were taken to Pittsburgh children's hospital for check ups.Out of these fifty three orphans,( as of Tuesday night) all but seven are already in the process of being adopted. Here are some pictures of these kids getting off the plane.

Though ( reports are stating that)many Haitians are trying to convince the Haitian government that their children are in fact orphans in order to send them here in the hopes of giving them a better life, this road has to be extremely tough on these children.In the pictures you will notice that most are wearing flimsy clothing and were certainly freezing despite the blankets which airline and airport staff were scrambling to find enough of to go around. Please remember to keep them , and everyone else effected by this natural disaster in your prayers
