Yaconix Valerio I am Dominican, I came to the US when I was 14 years old. I love my country but don't take me wrong, I know my country is far from perfect! I am not here to argue whether the government is right or wrong, it is clear is wrong! But I am here to ask fo Read more ... r help! When I was 10 years old I met a Dominican little girl who's parents where from Haiti. Later I find out that my aunt was going to adopt the little girl but after living the little girl several years decided not to adopt her. My aunt loss the papers of the little girl. I don't know how or why but the little girl moved with a different family. That little girl is now 19 years old and also have a 1 year Dominican son with her. So my cousin who's have always seen that little girl like her sister gave birth couples days ago so she couldn't and can't go to Dominican Republic to help her. And she called me 6 hours ago, asking me to help her because I know some police officer in Dominican Republic. It was a dead end because today is the last day for them to find or get they papers. I really would like to help her, but I don't know how? It is crazy she is Dominican, she was born there, she have never been in Haiti!
