Blow to sovereignty #BABYVERONICA
Here. An excerpt:
The Supreme Court’s decision in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl
is most certainly a blow to Indian sovereignty by way of an assault on
core notions of Indian family and tribal identity. Yet what is even
more disturbing is how the “Baby Veronica” ruling so vividly highlights
the Roberts Court’s deep investment in white supremacy, capitalism,
patriarchy, heterosexism, and a coercive binary gender system. Adoptive Couple is
about far more than the rights of adoptive parents. The decision
should serve as a warning to all marginalized groups such as Indians,
ethnic minorities, the lower class, or the LGBT community: If given the
opportunity the High Court will construe legislation to serve its own
institutionalized interests, in spite of the law’s intent.

Kudos to Indian Country Today for the continuing coverage: this comment was superb:
The
staff at Indian Country and Suzette Brewer really deserve to be
commended for their coverage of these cases. They are currently the only
news source in the United States that consistently reports correct
facts in these stories tells them honestly in a way that doesn't cover
up the crimes that have been commited against these parents and children
and how much damage it has done, not only to them but to our society.
Thank you Indian Country for your commitment to journalism, which
unfortunately is apparently rare these days. You deserve the Pulitzer
for you coverage of these cases.

Another great op-ed: http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/HaireoftheDog/archives/2013/09/05/the-capobiancos-should-stop-fighting-for-custody-of-baby-veronica
Sadly, to see this happening (with a new arrest warrant) makes many of us sick to our stomach...Adoption has been polluted with greed and human trafficking. It is corrupt in ways we never imagined, including the current justice system...Dusten and Robin, hang in there - we are praying for you and Ronnie.... Trace

To Veronica Brown
Did you know?
New York’s 4o-year battle for OBC access ended when on January 15 2020, OBCs were opened to all New York adoptees upon request without restriction. In only three days, over 3,600 adoptees filed for their record of birth. The bill that unsealed records was passed 196-12.
Canada's Residential Schools
The religious organizations that operated the schools — the Anglican Church of Canada, Presbyterian Church in Canada, United Church of Canada, Jesuits of English Canada and some Catholic groups —
in 2015 expressed regret for the “well-documented” abuses. The Catholic Church has never offered an official apology, something that Trudeau and others have repeatedly called for.
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.
So what happens next? Dusten is put in jail and Veronica is given to her 'legal' kidnappers? DB said he would fight until there was nothing left to fight and that he would go to jail for his daughter. It looks like that's where we are now.
ReplyDeleteHe won't be in jail long if his lawyers are any good - Ronnie stays in OK after the best interests hearing - no adoption by thieves, fiasco ends. That is the best case scenario I can hope for...
