Evens Colas - A Haitian Father's Immigration Success Story

Evens Colas And Family

Here is the story...

According to Florida Today, a local Brevard county florida newspaper, Evens Colas Mirelle Rosembert got married in Haiti back in 1995, they had two kids, Paul and Melisa.

When Evens tried to bring his kids the United States, a paternity test showed that he is not their biological father.

After a second DNA test, the U.S. government told Evens Colas if he wanted his kids to come live with him in the United States, he had to adopt Paul and Melissa.

Easy right?

Wrong...

The Haitian government told Evens that he could not adopt his own children... After all... their birth certificates say that he IS their daddy!

What happens next will surprise you...

Monche... Papa-m toujou gen yon senate l-al ekri tout la jounen... (My father is always bugging us to help him write letters to his senator)

This stuff works!

With the help of U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, Evens Colas was able to bring his kids here, in the United States, on visas as foreign relatives.

They now live in Palm Bay, Florida, and they will start school soon.

A Lesson Learned... Your Senator can help you!

I know many Haitian families who are on the same boat; they have kids in Haiti they are trying to bring to the United States and there are red tapes every where.

Whe all else fails, contact your local Senator or Congressman.

If you are a registered voter they will listen to you... and...

They might just help you...
