Tonight,
a country brought to its knees.
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake
has hit Haiti.
The capital, Port-au-Prince,
was literally torn apart.
The earthquake lasted all of a minute.
The intensity so strong,
within seconds a cloud of dust
covered the city.
And many people are still
trapped in the rubble.
Some may still be alive,
a very desperate effort.
There's truly no way of knowing
just how many people are dead.
Bodies are reportedly stacked
in streets.
It's feared the number of people killed
could now reach 200,000.
200,000 children
without a mother or father
even before this earthquake.
to know the worst of times
- is tonight just trying to survive.
- Mama! Mama!
But it is the human losses
which are most shocking.
Mama! Mama!
"My name is Nina.
I can't believe we're finally here.
Are you nervous?
Yeah.
You?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I mean, I'm excited.
We got to be close, right?
I hope so.
- Hello, hello, I'm Gabrielle.
- Hi.
Mrs. Reigert, nice to meet you finally.
- Steven.
- Shannon.
- Shannon, how are you?
- Excited.
I don't think
I've slept in a couple of days.
But we made it and we're here.
Well, let's delay no longer.
Um, actually, I'm gonna tip our driver.
Oh, no, no, that's all taken care of.
The car will wait for you.
Come on.
- Great.
- Okay.
AII I need is one more week
to secure her passport,
but all the Haitian
are signed and sealed officially.
Excellent.
This is my office.
My assistant Maryanne.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Please make yourselves comfortable.
I'll just go and get the little one.
All right.
Nina.
Do you realize when
she comes back, we're parents?
It's...
- I'm gonna take a picture.
- Okay, of course you are.
Okay, this way.
Hi.
I'm Shannon.
- Bonjour.
- Bonjour.
- Merci.
- Bonjour, Nina.
Bonjour.
Do you remember this guy
I showed you on the computer?
Boy, oh boy.
We've been getting to know each other.
Haven't we, ma petite?
I believe congratulations are in order.
Okay, squeeze up.
Smile.
All you have to do now is have fun,
relax, get to know Nina.
And if I can,
I'll come down on Sunday
just to see how she's settling in.
Oh, I don't know that that's necessary.
In fact, you know, maybe it's better
- if we just spend some time...
- No, no.
They get separation anxiety.
Not that I coddled her,
but they do form attachments
in a very short period of time.
And, uh, the passport?
That should be ready
Wednesday the latest.
Well, it's so nice of you
to put us up like this.
Oh, it's all part of the service.
In my experience,
a nice quiet place by the beach
is just the right environment
To get the sense
that everything's okay now,
if you know what I mean?
I'm gonna...
Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
We just became parents.
Look at this.
Wow.
Hey, guys.
Let's walk down
and check out the beach.
Great idea.
The guy at the front
said it was 83 water.
Is that what they said?
You swim?
You guys going down to the surf?
- Yeah.
- Oh, it's beautiful.
It's beautiful here.
I just got here,
I'm gonna go get my trunks
and go in, I think.
- Okay.
- I'm Benjamin.
Hey, Steven Mayer.
- Nice to meet you.
- This is my wife Shannon.
- Hi, Shannon. Pleasure.
- Hi.
And our daughter Nina.
Hi, Nina. How are you?

We know what we're doing, right?
Whatever we don't know

Stupid people have kids every day.
It works out, right?
Right? Right?
Tragic, but true.
And we're not stupid, so...
