Ive heard about humanitarian parole. What does that mean?
• Humanitarian parole is an extraordinary discretionary authority that the Department of Homeland Security may employ, in this instance to bring children who are pending adoption to the United States to be united with their adoptive parents. When the children enter the country with humanitarian parole, they will then need to regularize their immigration status after arrival by completing the adoption formalities. At this time, humanitarian parole is only available to children who had adoption cases pending before the earthquake.
