Adoption

The adoption made by David and Chelom Leavitt isn’t a one-off. An investigative report into the case revealed problems in how the Indian Child Welfare Act is enforced.

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act by July.

Supporters say protections enshrined into state law are important to preserving Indigenous culture for future generations.

The Supreme Court appears likely to leave in place most of a federal law that gives preference to Native American families in foster care and adoption proceedings of Native children.
