Complicated Explained

OK, so we had our conference call with the lawyers and got the explanation we needed (notice I did not say wanted). We did not get terrible news, we basically got an explanation of what the different options are in the ICWA hearing. As with any adoption there is a risk.

The case is complicated because Cynthia (birth mom) is a N. Cheyenne member but lives on an Apache reservation. The Cheyenne historically are hard to deal with concerning adoption, they want to keep their babies in the tribe. Apache's are historically easy to work with. The lawyer is working on getting the case heard in the Apache court and not involve the Cheyenne. The birth mom is on our side, and hopefully that will matter a lot to the court. We know Kenna is going to end up wherever she needs to be, we just keep praying that is with us.

If you read the March 18 post you will notice that some of it does not make sense. Katrina entered this one while on medicine for strep throat, flu and nausea. It made her say and see strange things.
