The newest additions to the O'Byrne family are fitting in just fine. And they love America. Blandy O'Byrne says, "it's cool and whatever you need, you have, you can have."

The O'Byrne's started the adoption process four years ago. And after the earthquake, they had lost all hope of getting their children home from Haiti. Alecia O'Byrne says, "I had given up, I really had given up, and I didn't understand it, but I thought it's not going to happen now."

But they've beaten the odds, and now all four children are at their home in Holton, Kansas; enjoying their new clothes, American food, and even a new guitar.

Esther Vincent, a family friend, was a missionary at the orphanage in Haiti. She was by the children's side the entire time after the horrific earthquake. She says, "The whole first night, nobody slept, and they just sang all night long. They sang their songs in Creole, just praying to God for mercy and to protect them, even the little girls and the little boys, were just like this all night, just singing and praying."

Blandy, the oldest of the four, says people in America are nice. And he hopes they will reach out to his home country in this crucial time of need. He says, "Jesus love Haiti, and I want the people in America to look at Haiti, help Haiti, because the children in Haiti want help."

There are still hundreds of families across the country trying to get their adopted children out of Haiti. The O'Byrnen's hope their story shows others it can happen and encourages them to keep fighting for their kids.
