children had serious illness or conditions that required medical
treatment that they could not receive in Haiti.
They would have died if they had not been able to get a medical
visa.
All of our children live
in 6 rooms. You can see which room the children
are in and who their friends are by their little icons. We

COTP never has and never will turn away
a child who is HIV+ or has AIDS. Some of the kids listed below
are HIV positive but for their privacy we will not publicly
state who they are, if any one feels led to adopt a HIV+
positive child please contact Robin
Knight for more details.

Name: Jeniflore
Birthday: 10/08/2007

again to come back with us. We will care for the girls for a
few months so their mother can figure out the best plan of
action for them. They are feisty and have a lot of
spunk so we pray they do well.
