ICWA states that Native Children are only to be adopted out if there are no available Native homes. Regardless of how long it took the relatives to come forth, ICWA is a Federal law that the social worker must follow. There is one mitigating factor, how long she has been in your home. Consult, the tribe, a lawyer and see the social worker about whether you have a chance. It's unlikely anyone on here can tell you what your chances are given ICWA.
