But if we had time to do that and we didn't have time to answer the questions that are in the minds and the hearts of these American families who have opened their homes to these Haitian orphans, to me, that's just bad process.
Fortenberry comments on the poor legislative process that prioritizes other resolutions over the urgent needs of families adopting Haitian orphans.

Do you perceive that as peculiar that it would take 3 years to get this done?
China's development strategy, frankly, is this: It is predatory lending, it is resource extraction, and it is payment to authoritarian regimes.
I completely understand that, but without a specific set of examples that we know that this is a model that is scalable for development across not only Haiti, but across other regions, I am afraid that we focus on these larger structural issues that may take the long term, obviously, to solve that are critical to the underlying premise of any sort of economic well-being.
