'Orphans' in Haiti case all have parents

Many kids in country go to orphanages when parents can't cope: Pastor

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti: Although a US church group said it was trying to rescue 33 "orphans" by taking them out of earthquake-ravaged Haiti, all of the children have close family still alive.

A reporter's visit on Saturday to the rubble-strewn Citron slum, where 13 of the children lived, led to their parents, all of whom said they turned their youngsters over to the missionary group voluntarily in hopes of getting them to safety.
