[QUOTE="smaneck, post: 69422576, member: 269871"] Here is the problem I have with that. If you are putting the interest of your child first you don't make media circus out of it. Remember the story of Solomon and the two mothers who both claimed the same child? This girl had stayed with this family on previous occasions. If they had properly prepared her and if arrangements had been made to keep in contact with the foster family, I don't think her removal would have been nearly as traumatic. My father cried when my foster brother and sister were taken away, but he didn't cry in front of them. That's not true. He has always been a member of the Chocktaw tribe. Yes and no. The principles that apply in this case are ones that should apply in ever child custody case. It is just that it is required in the case of Native Americans. You realize the mother is still alive? She is a drug-addict who has lost six of her children to the foster-care system. If any of her relatives had tried to get custody they probably would have succeeded. There is nothing in this law that says the Indian side of the family gets first priority. It was the father's family that was interested and sued for custody. Why shouldn't she be united with her sisters? Incidentally the Pages' were her third foster home. [/QUOTE]
