This is were it should have been all along. The moment it was established that Miss Brown is a Cherokee Citizen this case should have been handed over to the tribal courts. The adoptive couples appeals should have been denied on the grounds, "It is out of our jurisdiction!" They should have been sent to tribal courts if they disagreed. Then the last 4 years Miss Brown and her family could have been living the life God had intended. Furthermore, these last 4 years could have been focused on criminal charges against all parties involved in the abduction of Miss Brown. Had the ICWA been followed to the letter of the law, the other children abducted by the very same adoption agency that aided in the crimes against the Brown family would have been in court answering to their crimes and not removing another child due to fear of going to prison as repeat offenders. The attorney would have been disbarred and quite possibly been in prison by now. Lets get this ball rolling and get these criminals behind bars. Allow me to repeat: Although SCOTUS wrongfully declared that 2 points of the ICWA did not apply to Dusten. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor reafirmed that it continues to apply to Miss Brown, her grandmother and the Cherokee Nation with her statement as follows, "It bears remembering, however, that Birth Father took action to assert his parental rights when Baby Girl was four months old, as soon as he learned of the impending adoption.” She continues, “I note, however, that the majority does not and cannot foreclose the possibility that on remand, Baby Girl’s paternal grandparents or other members of the Cherokee Nation may formally, petition for adoption of Baby Girl.” #StandingOurGroundforVeronicaBrown, IamDustenBrown newson6/story/23176837/expert-says-cherokee-courts-may-have-final-say-in-baby-veronica-case
