Port Au Prince, Haiti -- Ben Avon sisters Jamie and Ali McMutrie have returned to Haiti, along with Leslie McCombs from UPMC, to help the 12 remaining children still living in the driveway of the BRESMA orphanage.

What they've found there is a dire situation of once-healthy children, now dehydrated and malnourished.

Each of these children has been confirmed as legally eligible for intercountry adoption and the McMutrie sisters are in possession of this paperwork as well as relinquishment papers. Each child has also been matched with an adoptive family in the US.

According to Leslie, the issue is that these children were matched for adoption after the earthquake and the recently established humanitarian parole policy allows orphaned children from Haiti to enter the United States - but only those matched to prospective parents before the earthquake.

One of the sickest children, Peterson, has lost half of his body weight in the month since the earthquake - 25 percent of that in just six days.

Last week, the McMutries said Peterson looked like five of the other children do now. They don't have much time.

In addition to photos of the children, the McMutries have sent back a heart-wrenching cell phone video.

A Pittsburgh-area blogger posted the following message Wednesday attributed to Jamie and Ali:

“Hey Pittsburgh and friends around the world, we need your help again! There are babies dying before our eyes and something needs to be done immediately. Please please please call all of your state representatives, senators, congressmen and governors and implore them to help us save these babies lives.

When you make these calls, here are the important facts:

There are 12 children still here in BRESMA who now have adoptive families waiting for them in the United States. We have the required Haitian documents for each child. The only problem is that these children were not officially matched with their US adoptive families before the earthquake on January 12th. Hopefully someone can cut through the red tape and get the kids out of Haiti before another baby dies.

Please call and email without ceasing.

Thank you so much for your help!! Jamie and Ali McMutrie”
