Two Haitian Children Now Safely Home In Bellingham



BELLINGHAM,Wash. -- Two more Haitian children are safe in Bellingham.

Scott and Michelle Gordon were in the process of adopting two Haitian children when the devastating earthquake hit.

Now, the kids are here in Bellingham.

Scott Gordon says he’s glad he got them back when he did.



"This week is going to be even worse, becuase some of the other things that have been happening with children who are trying to get out of the country.  The Prime Minister said 'you know, it's not worth it...how about nobody gets to leave...' says Gordon."

Like another Bellingham father of Haitian orphans, Scott decided to go to Haiti and get the girls.

He reportedly helped bring close to sixty other children to their adoptive parents in the US, with the assistance from Congressman Rick Larsen and other officials.
