The Dutch adopt 106 children from Haiti...

A Dutch airlift brought 106 children from quake-ravaged Haiti to new lives in the Netherlands and Luxembourg on Thursday, as anxious families waited to hug children they had been in the process of adopting for months.

The children, aged 6 months to 7 years, were carried or walked from the plane one by one, wrapped in blue blankets, after it arrived at a Dutch military airport in Eindhoven.

Most of the children had already been matched with new parents, but some were being introduced to those parents for the first time. Nine had been approved for adoption but not yet matched with a family, and they will be placed in foster care until parents can be found. More...
