Mia Farrow Disparages Illegal Haiti Adoptions

February 8, 2010 by Susan Fredricks

Actress and UNICEF Good Will Ambassador Mia Farrow was shocked at the attempted kidnapping of 33 Haitian children by ten American missionaries.

Farrow stated that the abduction attempt of these children was “deplorable” and insists offering parents a better life for their children elsewhere is “completely unacceptable and immoral”. The mother of 11 adopted children further commented that if groups and charities want to help the children of Haiti, they should offer support to the orphanages and family members inside the country.

The 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti hard on January 12th which left thousands of family devastated in its wake. Adoption practices in Haiti are now under scrutiny after news hit of the Americans trying to take the children out of their country. The ten Americans who belong to a Christian charity group were charged with kidnapping, conspiracy and child criminal association.
