Letters from Families Hurt by the Indian Child Welfare Act -

.

I am giving you the link to letters families have written us so that you can see what the Christian Alliance for Indian Child Welfare (CAICW) sees, read what CAICW reads, and understand what is happening to children and families right here in the US.

People tend to ignore the Indian Child Welfare Act, believing that it doesn't affect them and that the children really do belong... to the tribes.

But..that includes my children and grandchildren as well as the children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews of all the people that have written to CAICW, begging for help.

The fact is that in some cases, a child needs only a small amount of heritage for tribal gov'ts, who get more funding per head, to reach out and insert themselves into a child's life. Many families have told us that they never expected to ever have to deal with something like this.

And remember, CAICW is a very smal org with very little public presence. If all thse people have found them - how many more are out there that haven't? ~
