Disturbing Family Patterns

Petition for Lexi's Adoptive Family
SooperMexican Mon 2016-Mar-21 10:28am

…How the hell does this make any sense? I understand how it might be preferable for someone of a certain ethnicity to be raised with that same culture, but that’s only when everything else is equal. Lexi has found a great home where she is flourishing, and the government just can’t have that.

But you can do something about it.

Please sign this petition and spread this story to make sure Lexi stays home…

Government Snatches Adopted Child Because Law is Racist
Kalhan Rosenblatt, Mail (UK) Mon 2016-Mar-21 10:24am

• Lexi, a six-year-old with one-and-a-half per cent Choctaw Native American blood, is about to be ripped away from the only home she's ever known
• Summer and Rusty Page, Lexi's foster parents, are not Native American
• Due to the 'Indian Child Welfare Act', Lexi can only live with other Native American families
• Summer and Rusty from Santa Clara, California, have been fighting for two years to adopt the child
• Now a court ordered emergency stay has been lifted, the Department of Children and Family Services will try to remove Lexi any day
• The Choctaw Tribe has decided to place Lexi with a person in Utah who is not Native American and does not live on a reservation …

All for the child's own good, of course...?!?
