US Govt to Reunite Haitian Children Separated from Mother

HeadlineJan 14, 2000

Haitian Americans in South Florida are applauding the US government decision to reunite two Haitian children separated from their mother when their migrant-packed boat ran aground off the Florida coast. Authorities said yesterday the family reunion will occur in the United States within the next few days. Florida Congressmember Carrie Meek said Yvena Rhinvil’s children, ten-year-old Marc and eight-year-old Germanie, will travel to Miami as soon as passports are issued by the Haitian government. They have been staying with an aunt in Port-au-Prince.
