In order to get the small benefits NA people are awarded you have to present evidence that you’re not just blood but also involved with the community you’re claiming benefits from, at least in what I’ve seen. I don’t believe in birthrights at this distant a level. My fiancee can trace his family back all the way to…

I agree, but I still think using a law as a legal loophole when you’ve already failed takes away from the meaning of the law. And foster care isn’t supposed to be a instant family kind of thing but these are loving people and this is a family. I’ve always thought that biological, or otherwise related family, doesn’t…

I can’t get through the whole article because I keep re-reading the beginning and going wait, wtf does this have to do with anything?

I’m not sure what you’re referring to since you didn’t specify. I did triple check everything. If I’m wrong feel free to tell me what’s incorrect and send me sources so I may amend myself, I am always open to new, unbiased, information so I can form a better opinion. More likely is that you like to comment for the…

He didn’t try to claim her, nor did his relatives, when she was removed from her mother. Which is what I said. Not for two years. Even if he was incarcerated he could have worked with CPS to plan for reunification while still in prison, but he didn’t until he’d already been released. Many people in prison work to…

Yes, most sources failed to include that part, that they’re not strangers. But also why do they get her? Because they’re more related? She hasn’t lived with them. She has her own parents. They didn’t take her when she was removed from her mother, never claimed her or tried to get her despite having a relationship, but…

So am I, though I’m not sure about the exact fraction. I was also born on reserve territory before it was “disbanded” or whatever they call it. And I was blessed upon birth and regularly attended community events and was cared for by a full blooded NA man who I thought was my actual grandfather until I was 6. I also,…

I’m seeing a lot of conflicting info. It seems like all parties are at least a little at fault and almost all the news sites are clearly biased one way or another. They do seem to have a relationship with the girl but I don’t think that just because they’re “more” related than her foster parents. Home is home.

Yeah, I’m reading more and more articles and most seem to forget to mention that she has had a relationship with the family. However the only sites reporting all this stuff to make the foster family look bad are sites like “indiancountrytodaymedianetwork” who can’t possible be biased, right? Idk if it’s wrong to say…

Which one says that? They’re all very conflicting but everything I’ve read so far says they’ve had no involvement and no relatives wanted her at the time she was removed and afterward. No one bothered to try to claim her until 2 years ago.

I’ve tried that but every single one has a different bias and different info. From what I’ve seen, everywhere says the father didn’t want her after she was removed and the family didn’t bother trying until 2 years afterward.

I really want to see this Incan thing. Please god give me a link.

I keep hearing conflicting stories about the biological family and the foster family and blah blah blah. So here’s my rundown of the most important facts;

No one is even mentioning that she’s exactly 1.5% NA, and the relatives the father wants her to live with are not even Native American at all and are not going to be doing anything to honor and continue her NA culture. Which again, sorry but 1.5% is not NA.

I don’t know about the father, other than he’s lost a child to CPS before and has a long criminal and drug history. He also didn’t want her when she was first removed from her mother, he didn’t even try to claim her until 2 years after she’d been removed. What I do know is that 1.5% NA, not born on a reserve, not…

I hate questioning someone’s actions, esp a woman who was abused, but why did SHE leave HER house? Even if he had a lease, or rental agreement, or whatnot, the police said one of them had to leave and SHE decided to leave and let him destroy her house and steal from her? She finally stuck up for herself, I’m sad that…

So it’s just me, I’m just a mom. Everything else aside, why is no one screaming about the fact that this woman got into her car with a gunshot wound and her 4 year old and attempted to drive herself? The authorities found her in her car on the side of the highway. I can’t imagine the child snuck the gun into the car…

Most parents don’t love their non-biological children less. It’s a trope. In fact many biological children in blended families say they felt the adopted child was more loved because they were “chosen” or needed/garnered more attention. Do you know why that is? Most people will say there were times where they thought…

Remember, always take your edibles at least 45 minutes after a small meal so you don’t digest it too quickly, and always keep them in a child-proof container. Resist the urge to eat all of your child’s snacks.

Also the strain, the batch of the strain, the form of consumption you use are all distinctly different highs. On top of all the other factors, like your weight, other medications, how much you’ve eaten, your mental state, etc. My fiancee often gets stoned while he works, he’s a developer. He says it eliminates…
