[QUOTE="ksm, post: 713344, member: 12511"] Both our DGDs are Native Alaskan thru their bio mom, who married my son. Older DGD is not his child. They were in foster care for a year before they were allowed to live with us. I read up on the Induan Child Welfare Act. It ticked DCF, the private foster care company, the CASA worker, and the court off. I pointed out that ICWA federal law mandates that the tribe be given written notification of any case plan or court proceedings a 10 day notice with a return receipt. I believe the court and DCF did not have enough information to terminate the parental rights under the ICWA law. But what the court did was to ask the parents if they would voluntarily sign a release of parental right, naming us as the adopting family. If they didn't sign a termination voluntarily in the court could terminate their rights and the children to be placed elsewhere is what they lead them to believe. Once that was done they bypassed all the ICWA laws on termination of parental rights. Then they informed us it was a private adoption and we lost all adoption benefits. Ksm [/QUOTE]
