Three US women are being allowed to leave Haiti with children they have adopted, from an orphanage in Haiti that has provided children for adoption in the past, after the women were stopped at the border Saturday 20 February. US officials have backed the women, saying the paperwork was done correctly, after angry Haitians questioned the validity of their documents. The incident follows tensions over children leaving the country after members of a US religious group were arrested in January for trying to leave the country with a group of children.
