Two flights with refugee children have come into Pittsburgh too. Though, it sounded rather confusing. For those who had adoptive families already lined up, there was no problem fast-tracking them through whatever systems they need to get through for adoption, but for those who arrived without a family already ready to adopt them, they are somehow under jurisdiction of homeland security, so the local agencies can't get them into foster care.

I kind of wonder if this is really a good thing for them, though. I mean, these kids have already been through a very traumatic experience, and then to fly them off to foreign countries (in winter no less) and ship them off to adoptive families like some commodity, I dunno. It seems a shame there isn't some way to make it so they can stay in familiar surroundings.
