PITTSBURGH—Two sisters who helped bring 54 orphans from earthquake-ravaged Haiti to Pittsburgh say they haven't had time to stop and think about what happened.

Jamie and Ali McMutrie say they're just thankful that all the children are safe and sound.

The Pittsburgh sisters had run the BRESMA orphanage in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.

They spoke during a news conference Thursday about their journey to bring the children to Pittsburgh.

They say there were a total of 120 children at the orphanage; the children who did not come to Pittsburgh went to Holland and France.

Twenty-eight of the children brought to Pittsburgh have found adoptive families.
