and have Native grand children and great grand children and you cannot begin to understand who scared this law makes the white family of a Native child. We have just been through a custody court battle because of parental drug use and did not even have a voice in the room. Now 3 months later the social workers have called us in because mom just up and disappeared leaving the children behind. NOW they want to hear our side of the issue.

Family should come into the picture for the sake of the children no matter what ethnic race they are.
