Got a great call yesterday from a foster Dad of two enrolled kids. He and his wife have had these two ever since they were babies and have seen what has happened to their siblings in the care of relatives. Someone had forwarded him an email with our last update concerning our Washington DC trip (posted on facebook just two hours earlier) and he was totally excited - He said he'd been PRAYING for something to come against the ICWA law and when he saw the email, he thought his prayers were answered!
I did tell him it was a David and Goliath thing and we haven't had much luck in the past.
He was totally moved with emotion and started crying, which was very moving for me in return. Then he prayed for the DC trip, the people we'd be meeting, and even for me!
What a Blessing - I pray, pray, pray we can actually be of some help.
The facebook note he'd received:

Yes! We've confirmed an appt w/ Rep. Michelle Bachmann's aide today. That will be a good one, because Rep Bachmann isn't afraid to fight for constitutional rights. I've also been told that she is a foster mother!
We also confirmed appts with 3 members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and Speaker Boehner's Assistant, as well as a few other appts. Still working on more. I'm still trying for Rep Issa and West, and Sen. Kent Conrad - who hasn't responded. (Hoeven and Berg are confirmed.)
