Oregon: Houses Passes Bill to Place Native American Foster Children in Culturally Appropriate Care #ICWA
House Bill 4148 was passed in the Oregon House of Representatives
on Thursday, February 20. The legislation seeks to place Native
American and Alaska Native foster children in culturally appropriate
care.
WOULD ALIGN OREGON WITH FEDERAL LAW: This
bill modifies the current dependency law in order to better fit with
the Indian Child Welfare Act and mandates the Oregon Department of Human
Services to provide reports every other year on American Indian and
Alaska Native children in the welfare system.
This new legislation essentially works to
protect Native American children in culturally appropriate environments
within Oregon’s foster care system. “Culturally appropriate” meaning
that the cultural identity of Native American foster children will be
protected through carrying on their traditions and connection to their
family and tribe whilst they are in the foster care system.
The bill is a response to the
federal Indian Child Welfare Act, which was created “to protect the
best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and
security of Indian tribes and families by the establishment of minimum
Federal standards for the removal of Indian children from their families
and the placement of such children in foster or adoptive homes which
will reflect the unique values of Indian culture.”
4148 is a direct follow up to concerns
about over-representation of Native American children in the foster care
system, who made up 4.8 percent of Oregon’s system in 2018, though they
make up only 1.6 percent of the total population.

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
