I think I may have posted this link before, I don't recall:http://www.politicalresearch.org/2014/02/23/the-adoption-crunch-the-christian-right-and-the-challenge-to-indian-sovereignty/#sthash.an9vnIyW.dpbs
ReplyDeleteThe article from 2 years ago talks about adoption and the political alignment of some right wing Christian groups & other conservatives to destroy ICWA - apparently to both get more babies for hte adoption industry as well as break tribal sovereignty. I think the Pages have become aligned with these groups too. Their church pushes some sort of 'adoption ministry' (raise orphans for our version of the baby Jesus!) and they slam ICWA on their websites.
Thank you - you are correct. It's been going on a long time.
