The current need for an immigrant visa causes many delays and costs a lot of extra money. Some children are dying in orphanages because people can't afford all the extra fees and their emotions can't handle all the extra delays in waiting for a child to come home. Our son has been in an orphanage in Haiti for almost 2.5 years now. He has been legally ours for over 8 months and still can't come home because we are waiting on a Haitian passport in order to get his visa to bring him home.
