#ICWA is vital: US and Tribes Stand Together #ProudtoProtectICWA

NEW ORLEANS — The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday in
Brackeen v. Bernhardt, in which the United States and tribal
nations stand together in defense of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
and the American Indian and Alaska Native children that it serves. A
nationwide coalition of 325 tribal nations, 57
Native organizations, 21 states, 31 child welfare organizations, 7
members of Congress, and dozens of scholars of federal Indian law and
constitutional law also stood with the parties in court during their
amicus briefs supporting Native children and families
through the Indian Child Welfare Act.
“ICWA is vital to the well-being of Native children and the stability
and integrity of Native families today. We can’t afford to go back to
the days when massive numbers of Native children were forcibly removed
from their loved ones and were often separated
from their families with little hope of ever seeing them again. It’s
not an option,” said the Protect ICWA Campaign.
The National Indian Child Welfare Association, the National Congress of
American Indians, the Association on American Indian Affairs, and the
Native American Rights Fund urge the ruling of the district court to be
reversed.
A decision by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is expected within a few months after the oral argument.

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.
