Since passage of the Indian Child Welfare Act, it is very difficult for an American Indian child to be adopted outside the tribe...does anyone know what it was like before that?
Or is this guy not even a real Indian?
A lot of Native American kids were raised by white parents in an attempt to make integration easier. People were taken away from their families and sent to school, then adopted. It is a painful part of American history, but overall, Native Americans (except for the ones still on the reservation) have been very successful integrating into American society. Lemonade out of lemons.
