PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - The woman in the chair had a small child sleeping in her lap. She had come to give him away. "Who is the father?" I asked, through a translator. "There is no father," she said. "Aren't you the mother?" "No." "Whose child is this?" "I found him abandoned under a tree behind a hospital. He was maybe 2 months old, and his belly was big. He was crying. So I took him to the police." "What did they tell you?" "They said, 'Why did you pick him up? You should have left him there.' So I took him home. And now I am here."
