80 Haiti orphans arrive in Miami

Eighty Haitian orphans have arrived in Miami. The children were embraced by their American adoptive parents, who took them to their new homes.

The 80 children come from the God's Littlest Angels Orphanage in Port-au-Prince and were in the process of being adopted before the earthquake.

They reached their waiting families through the nation's largest orphanage agency, Bethany Christian Services, which quickly stepped up adoption efforts in Haiti following the disaster.

Cindra Zwart, Adoptive Parent, said, "We adopted two children from Haiti. We have been in the process for over two years."

Christine Meyer, Adoptive Parent, said, "We were scared whether she was alive or not, and then we were worried about our paperwork."

Ryan Matthysee, Adoptive Parent, said, "Because of the earthquake, things changed and we were able to bring him home sooner than we expected."

The United Nations says there were about 380-thousand orphans in Haiti before the earthquake wreaked havoc.

The Archdiocese of Miami has announced a program to bring more orphans from Haiti to the United States following the disaster.
