Veronica was adopted and became the child of Matt and Melanie in every sense of the word. A child is not a toy or possession that is passed around from home to home.
The "Indian" angle is pure smoke and mirrors. 3⁄256 is not "Indian". I am 1⁄8 Winnebego (Ho-Chunk Nation) which isn't enough to qualify as "Indian" with the US government, much less the local tribe.
The Father's Rights people were out in force for this case IMO. I am happy that Matt, Melanie and Veronica have been reunited and hope they are able to stay together as a family.
The baby should never been put up for adoption in the first place. Maldonado was found to be not credible. She lied in order get money from the adoption agency and the Capos.
The amount of Indian blood that one has running thru their veins has nothing to do with it. Dusten Brown is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. Regardless. And that is a fact. Percentage does not matter.
The Capos should have backed off when Dusten Brown came forward and said that he wanted to parent his child. Immediately. Adoption is the answer when children have no family to care for them.
God Damn! I always seem to be on the loosing end of this shit!
