of a young child so the child could remain within their tribe.
If you want to reconnect there are options you can start here if you like.

If you need any help let me know, be glad to assist you.

Thank you!

None of the links for an adopted Native American Child work. The ones to adopt do and the ones which explain the Act in 1978 which stopped this practice.

I have no idea that 1/4 of Native American Children were adopted out forcibly in the 50's and 60's. I knew some, but that is a huge amount.

I have been hoping that the Ancestors in the Spirit World know where we all are.
