Complete Headline: Girl, six, to be LEGALLY torn away from her loving foster parents of five years because she is '1.5 per cent Native American' and the family is white
[Snip]
The family is under 'specific orders' not to tell Lexi or their other children what is happening.

This happened to my ministers best friend. Total BS!
SOUNDS LIKE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED RACISM.
We saw this the last time we had a Dhim president...
We ran into this with a child we helped place for adoption. The secret for the birth parents is this: NEVER mention any Indian ancestors.
It might be good for those parents to both get some DNA testing done to see if either of them have any Native DNA running through their veins.
Are the foster parents Christian, heaven forbid?/s
Some of these Child Protective Custody People are simply tyrants.
The child has been with these people for five years. they live her. They are the only parents she knows...and they want to adopt her.
but the little PC correct tyrants will rip her away form that and send her to people unknown over such a trifling ridiculous rule.
1.5% Choctaw means essentially that she is not Choctaw.
I know a couple who adopted a girl whose mother was a “first nation” in Canada. The biological father, as far as they know, was white
The girl, who was in her teens, made a point to travel 500 miles away to the United States, to get away from similar laws in Canada, which would have involved the Canadian Government and its asinine first-nations laws in the birth of her child.
I erased what I originally wrote ......
.......suffice it to say it wouldn’t go smoothly for them.
This is child abuse
From what I read, the Choctaw Nation doesn’t have a blood quantum rule, but in order to join the tribe, the person must be able to document descent from original enrollees of the tribal rolls.
One and one-half percent is so small as to be meaningless.
Who is the money man behind this travesty?
This is government out of control.
You can’t tell me the separation anxiety will ever be fully healed in this child.
This should be criminally actionable.
This is so cruel.
BTW, if this the case, then my entire family, my kids, my husband and my grandkids are going to claim Native American on the rolls from now on.
Minority benes here we come.
Is there anything we can do to stop this Gd awful removal of a child from the only family she has ever known? This is one of the worst things this country does. This is clearly not in the child’s best interests. It will destroy her. I wish I could do something.
6.5 — so she’s in 1st Grade?
This ruling is disgusting.
That system, of course, was destroyed with the 1838 "Trail of Tears" expulsion but tribes further west carried it on even as late as the 1870s, including a branch of my own bloodline. A young white being an honored member of the Siouxian tribes in particular would often make the difference between being passed over of massacred when the cavalry was on the rampage.
Back in the eighties or early nineties there was a case of a 8 or 10 year old adopted child who was removed to the tribes after a private at birth adoption.
This is the fact of life of adoption.
It is morally reprehensible but legal.
