A Canadian woman and her young Haitian son are trapped in the country rocked by violent protests while her partner and daughter seek refuge in New Brunswick. Balzer and Calixte rescued Deo from an orphanage when he was a baby and have raised him together alongside their daughter Iyanu. But only Balzer has formally applied to adopt Deo because Haitian law doesn't permit unwed couples to adopt together. From left to right, Deo, Meaghan Balzer, Will Calixte and Iyanu. Interview with Meaghan Balzer produced by Sarah Jackson.
