On this day in 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, known as Baby Veronica. The court examined a custody dispute between the biological father, Dusten Brown, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, and a South Carolina couple, which the girls mother chose for a planned adoption. The high court sent the case back to lower courts to decide Veronicas placement. The Indian Child Welfare Act, intended to keep Native families together, was used in the case. Tribes, advocates and Native organizations closely followed proceedings raising concerns about potential impacts in Indian Country. The girl was eventually handed over to the couple, Matt and Melanie Capobianco, and Brown dropped the legal fight.
