Caroline Ijang and Cameroon

immigration office: I am not saying it is easy, according to CBC. But these are kids that are helpless. It been two years since Caroline Ijang adopted the orphans from Cameroon, but she still has no idea where the case stands. "I know in the immigration office they have a tough job," Ijang said. "I know there are millions of people, they apply from all over the world. If this was your own child, what would you do They've already been through a lot." The two adopted children, Will-Norman and Faith, were 10 and eight respectively, when they lost both parents. Ijang recalled the difficult conversation she had with her sister in her final days. "She said, 'You know I am struggling and if anything were to happen to me please take care of my kids.'" Following her sister death, Ijang flew to Cameroon for the funeral. Their father died in a car accident and shortly after their mother — Ijang sister — died in hospital from health complications. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
