the child. you basically abandoned a child you waived your parental rights. this was an act, this federal act, meant to protect the cultural heritage of native americans. would this case potential he have an impact outside of that community and affect adoptions general general adoptions any. sure, this is a federal act. we re talking about trumping state law and every state has different adoption laws so this could become a cornucopia of issues that could blow and implode what we do on a daily basis and we have to guide people properly. national these adoptive parents thinking they can meet the hurdles and then they say, near a three or four year battle over the child we thought we didn t have a problem. so everyone has to look at the law clearly and deif it makes sense or they should broaden it or strike is down. my thoughts are with the little girl. i hope she gets a little stability in her life now. thank you so much.

that are not their biological parent. i was raised by my grandparents. be it perhaps a parent that is a same-sex partner that doesn t have a legal tie. if we were to figure out how to equalize our adoption laws to make sure that second-parent adoption, stepparent adoption is available and that gay partners and unmarried partners can jointly adopt, that would cover the responsibilities of being able to safeguard and care for children, which is what the family policies are about. adopted family members, almost 70% are married couples. you look at unmarried couples are only at the 2% rate on adoptive parents. that includes heterosexual and same-sex couples. i also wanted to ask. there is this other name out there around family that to me in part is connected to this. we often here if you choose not to do abortion, you always have adoption.
