GLA is a legit orphanage. I am the one who gave Aeneas the email he posted earlier. I adopted twins from Haiti and we stayed at GLA while there. Any donations to GLA are used for care of the children and support of their medical and adoption services. Years ago, Dixie and John were in Haiti helping out another agency when a local brought their sick premee baby to Dixie because she was a nurse and they could not get any medical help elsewhere. John built an incubator from scratch on the spot and they tried to nurse this child to health. Sadly it passed away, but it was then that they knew where they are needed. They went back to the States, quit their jobs and secured funding, then moved permanently to Petionville. More than a decade later, they have helped hundreds of children that would have otherwise died, and hundreds of children find homes and a better life.My twins came from there, my friend's daughter came from there, our other friend's have adopted three times from there.The people of Petionville (one of the hardest hit areas) know Dixie has medical knowledge and can get supplies. Given the current situation, I would not be surprised if they began getting a flood of people bringing children to them in the aftermath.You can certainly support Canadian Red Cross or Doctor's Without Borders and your money will be put to good use. If you want to help an orphanage, this is one I can personally vouch for.
