Can I ask a very simple but heretofore not examined question? Where would Silsby have gotten this "paperwork" when the country is in shambles? I've been to the embassies and visa office in Port au Prince three times. Each time, I camped out for the entire day, had to have the child I was adopting or escorting with me, and had to fight like heck to keep my cool (literally and figuratively) and my place in line. This was in 1988 and 1989--admittedly not in the midst of an earthquake (however, there was a coup in '88).
I'm just not understanding what Silsby or her attorneys are referring to as paperwork. Haiti is notoriously slow about gathering paperwork for anyone leaving the country--whether for work permits, emigration, or adoption. I fail to be able to imagine a working governmental agency in the midst of this chaos which would prioritize travel papers for a group of children to go to the Dominican Republic--a country that has been historically pesky about emigrants from Haiti. From the photos I saw, each child had a piece of tape on their clothing identifying them. This hardly qualifies as "paperwork".
Our daughter's dossier was quite a thick folder with multiple notarized documents, medical records, identifying papers, and photos. Biological families who met in a soccer field concerning a "sojourn" wouldn't have had any reason to have gathered this paperwork. Ask yourself, do you have a dossier prepared for your child--in case of natural disaster--say, for your child to travel to Guatemala with a church group offering to care for your child until you get back on your feet? I don't.
