US: Tribes, states seek review of Native child adoptions case
Associated Press – September 08, 2021
The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review a case that centers on whether Native Americans should receive preference in adoptions of Native children. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a sharply divided ruling in April over the federal Indian Child Welfare Act. The law gives Native American families priority in foster care and adoption proceedings involving Native children, and places reporting and other requirements on states. The appeals court upheld the law and Congress’ authority to enact it.
