News to Note February 2010
Greetings!

January was a very busy month for Carolina Adoption Services.  We had programs open to new families, added a new partner program, and helped in Haiti.  The earthquake in Haiti brought CAS to the forefront as a leading adoption expert in two interviews with CNN and as a resource to provide assistance to the children in the orphanage we work with.  In February we celebrate Valentines Day with all the forever families who share so much love as well as the children and families still waiting.  Visit the monthly updates to view up to date information on all of CAS's programs.

Haiti:  4 Weeks Later  
MDA Orphanage After
 
We are thrilled to share that our family who had a match of a child prior to the January 12th Earthquake is now united with her daughter! It is critical that we continue to remember the children who remain at the Maison des Anges Orphanage they are in desperate need of mosquito nets which cost approximately $15 each and insect repellant. These items may be easily shipped to our contact in the Dominican Republic and then transported to the orphanage. During this critical time every dollar counts and every donation received for Haiti will be sent to support the children who are left behind.  The need is still great, Donate to Haiti Today.
