dhowartist-you are right in the fact that there are children in foster care. Maybe your friends will raise one of them. Veronica has a real family and it isn't the C's.

I think that if the father and the tribe want this baby, maybe they should share her with the couple who have raised her since she was born, not just snatch her away to a person she does not know. Have the couple who adopted her bring her to the father and with them there to start with let her get to know him. he is a stranger to her. she is bound to be scared and not know what is going on, anyone remember the movie Losing Isaiah, if not maybe u should watch it and learn a thing or 2 about just taking a adopted kid away and giving them to a parent they do not know.

hes been fighting for his daughter since 2010 ever since she was born!!! Its not his fault it took this long for him to have his child back. I dont feel bad for the adopted parents when they knew her biological father was fighting for her.

I agree, if this father loves and wants the best for his daughter - GIVE HER BACK! I am 74 years old now but when I was 17 months old I was taken from the couple who had raised me from birth and given to another couple. I know this 2nd couple "walked the floor with me for a week, I would not stop crying." It took me until about 20 years ago for me to completely understand what affect this had on me but there is no doubt in my mind that this event, though I cannot remember it, permanently emotionally damaged me resulting in lack of trust in all my relationships - friends and marriages and work.

I have worked in the adoption field for 16 years and know this for sure: Legally, when one of the birthparents is registered with a Native American tribe, both birthparents AND THE TRIBE must consent to the adoption. In this case, the adoptive parents got BAD legal advice from their lawyer or agency who apparently did not know the Indian Child Welfare Act well enough. Even if both birthparents sign consents, waivers or relinquishments, (whatever the legal document they use to give up parental rights), the tribe still has to give its consent or the adoption CANNOT go through. I feel sad for the little girl AND for the adoptive parents, who should sue whoever advised them legally in this matter. In my experience, the Cherokee Nation, in particular, is very strong and would never consent to an adoption if one of their registered members is involved. They reserve the right to find someone in the tribe to adopt and raise the child, even if BOTH birthparents wish to give up their parental rights.

To the father that little girl looked happy loved.She was with a real mommy and daddy.If you really have love for her let her go home.Look at her life she had with them.She has more than most childern will ever have.Please give her a chance to be happy and loved taken care of.You love her thats no question.But put yourself in her little shoes. How would you like be taken away from parents that love you.She is going to be so sad inside lost hurt maybe evan growing up to have emotional problems. Please let her be happy let her go home.Show her how much you really love her. That all that matters is her happiness.So when she grows up she'll find you and no how much you cared and loved her.

Sperm donor Brown doesn't even have enough sense to use a condom. He leaves a trail of illegitimate children. This about Veronica's rights to a stable loving environment which the adoptive family provided. The ONLY motive here is to increase his monthly free ride and get back at the birth Mother because she wouldn't marry him. Any parent truly interested in parenting would have supported their child regardless. This man is nothing but a pathetic opportunist who found a loop hole which our system is full of.His interest in "fathering" Veronica is equal to his interest in being a Cherokee.....NONE. SHAME ON YOU CHEROKEE NATION. I would really love to know exactly how much $$$ you get to destroy a child's life.

It seems that the Cherokee trump what their own members want or do. I don't think that losing one member is gonna be a big hit against millions. They are like the polygomist in Utah that forbid members to leave .... A cult- that's what they have become.

I can not wait to hear the biological fathers side of the story. All we have heard is the adopitive parents side. And their version of what the biological mother has said. We havent actually heard either side from a biological parent.I feel for all parties involved as this is heart breaking for all and a no win situation for, one family is going to end up losing a child. I also think this belongs in the courts not in public news which will now make it harder on the child when she is taken out anywhere in public. I pray her biological father and family is not confronted by some angry outraged person while in public with this sweet little child.

As a close female relative of the adoptive family, I have seen the love they have for Veronica, the tenderness they show her-she IS THEIR child! Sperm does not make a father as this is the reason so many children in our country are in foster homes and on welfare...And I totally believe that the "birth father" is looking for media attention and financial support from the Cherokee Nation who somehow cannot see how he is abusing everything they want to protect: human integraty, honesty, and a real connection with ancestry-Dustin Brown is making a mockery of his 1% heritage and should be ashamed. A child is dragged away from a secure and caring home with a mother and father to be raised by a male stranger who lives with his eldery parents????What kind of home is that?
