It always
is the people from whom the the kid was removed who cause the clusterf**K.
If they screwed up and lost the child, why do they have a say?
The Indian Child Act was introduces to prevent Native American children from being stolen from their family homes for the purpose of acculturation into Anglo culture or adoption.
She
is already acculturated into American Anglo society. She is happy where she is. She is - what? One 64th Native? This is crazy and it totally ignores the spirit of the law - which is "stealing" children and forcing another culture upon them.
I feel so sorry for this child and for her family.
