100 Voices for Veronica Brown
Facebook is buzzing with Baby Veronica (Ronnie Brown) updates
and talking about her case as human trafficking. If you have a parent
who wants to raise his child and an adoption agency who sells that same
child and then wins in court and hands the child to strangers then we
have sanctioned human trafficking in the US....Trace

100 Voices for Veronica Brown
Thank You very much for that link, Tenja. I remember a social worker
commenting on one of the pro-Veronica blogs, that when she was younger
she was involved (I believe pre-ICWA) in placing a lot of Native
children with white parents. I wish I could find that comment. She
basically admitted that she thought at the time that she was “saving ”
these children, but later a lot of them developed problems as teenagers
and a lot of them committed suicide, while the kids who stayed with
their biological families were much closer to the national norm for
suicide. I don’t remember if it was the same person, or someone else,
who mentioned that a big part of the problem was that the white families
talked disrespectfully about the children’s native families. One look
at the SAVE VERONICA ROSE (SVR) page and you can see we have the same problem
in Veronica’s case. We need to spread this information. This could help
prevent Desirai’s (and other children’s) placement outside the tribe,
this could eventually help reunite Veronica with her family. I believe
that it is far from over. If the tide of the public opinion turns within
the next couple of months or years, and let’s say
Godwin, and Nightlight and Nomura get exposed and imprisoned, Capobinacos will find themselves in a hot water. They “won” but they know that this might be a Pyrrhic victory.

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
Why tribes do not recommend the DNA swab
Rebecca Tallbear entitled: “DNA, Blood, and Racializing the Tribe”, bearing out what I only inferred:
Detailed discussion of the Bering Strait theory and other scientific theories about the population of the modern-day Americas is beyond the scope of this essay. However, it should be noted that Indian people have expressed suspicion that DNA analysis is a tool that scientists will use to support theories about the origins of tribal people that contradict tribal oral histories and origin stories. Perhaps more important,the alternative origin stories of scientists are seen as intending to weaken tribal land and other legal claims (and even diminish a history of colonialism?) that are supported in U.S. federal and tribal law. As genetic evidence has already been used to resolve land conflicts in Asian and Eastern European countries, this is not an unfounded fear.
