AI/AN children
Hi,
I haven't yet run into a problem, but I see that it is a possibility. I am considering adopting my niece (she is now in foster care with my parents). She is 50% First Nations (Native Canadian). Her mother is not enrolled in the tribe because she was adopted by a CC family in the US. She has been in foster care before and so far no social workers have notified the tribe. However, I know from previous experiences that the tribe is very legally active in its members affairs, whether they like it or not. I don't know that it will be a problem for us, since we are blood relatives, but I think it would be if we weren't. Sorry this doesn't help much.
