Heaton update

The Heatons were co-founders of The Nebraska Global Orphan Project. So many of you are asking about the news about the two girls (ages 2 and almost 8) the Heatons are adopting, who are currently in Haiti. The Heaton girls were actually in an orphanage in Port-au-Prince awaiting adoption. (This is not the same orphanage that we support that has 250 children.We still have not received word on those children.) The Heatons have received word that the girls survived the earthquake. They are currently with the two American women who run the orphange. Scott and Kristin have been told that they are not able to be in the house they were currently living in and that they do not have food and water. They have been told that Anderson Cooper from CNN, who is currently reporting from Haiti has heard about the American women who run the orphanage and the dire situation they are in. Reportedly he is making his way to this orphanage to try to help. In addition, the Heatons are being interviewed this afternoon by Channel 7 out of Omaha and Channel 8 here in Lincoln. Many of you will want to know about this and tune in to see what they are doing to try to get help to their girls.
