I think that you should contact a lawyer. We have adopted two native children that were not enrolled in the tribe. The birth father of one of our kids was enrolled. In some tribes just because your parent is enrolled does not mean that you qualify to enroll.
The last post is accurate about the reason why the tribe wants the children back with the tribe. Too many native adopted adults went back to the tribe and spoke up about being "let go" by the tribe.
Our social worker contacted the tribe, and requested information if they were enrolled. We got a letter back saying no they were not and the tribe had nothing to say about the adoption. It is a tough deal, but fight and get all the facts.
I wish you luck!!
