I am very proud to announce that you have been busy running trying to clean off all your websites, and your false claims to being federally recognized. Two things you have no control over, the private messages Naomi sent with these claims, and the web cashed files where you have made the claims, along with your claims of taking two children using ICWA.
You are scum, the lowest of the lows. You are worse than the Capobianco's who stole a child, you tried to steal a tribe identity, and by doing that, you stole not one, but TWO children by making false claims.
I know you are reading this page, so I am telling you, and the world of what you have done! No child can be raised in a healthy house that is part of scams, lies, and god knows what else you are doing, you people are sick, sick, SICK, and karma is coming for you.
PS The more you remove from the web, the faster my blog comes to the top in engine searches, I can only encourage you to remove more, more, MORE!

Standing Our Ground, or Falling Down?
Folks, if you have ever watched Jon Stewart, then you will understand why I wish I could present this post in my best Jon Stewart impersonation. I, much like Stewart, stand up for what I see is wrong. You just cannot right a wrong.
The Standing Our Ground movement began with the best of intentions, but when Veronica was forced to go with the Capobianco's, it is as if the whole movement has fallen apart. Most of those who are part of that movement cannot get over the fact that Veronica is gone. Some of the members look to the future to fight for the ICWA law, others have focused on other men trying to get custody of their children who have been unethically adopted out, while most members can only sit around and complain about what has happened, they are stuck in a rut, no help or use to anyone.
When a dear friend of mine decided it was time to seek other action, she stated publically that her focus would be on protecting ICWA. She is from the Shawnee tribe of Oklahoma, and she has always worked to protect her people. So, the comment left by one of our readers, about a man named Charlie "Two Hats" Banta caught her attention. This name is known to her because in 2006, this man decided he was Indian, not just any Indian, but a Shawnee, and upon a trip to Ohio, where he says his mother had memories of Shawnee Indians dancing on a flat area on top a hill, upon getting to Ohio, they found a hill with a flat top and his mother claimed that is where the Shawnee's danced.
I don't know how many of you know history, but I cannot figure out just how old his mother is, because the Shawnees were forced to remove from the Ohio valley in 1830.
Charlie "Two Hats" Banta, then declared himself a "Chief" and named his "tribe" "Platform Reservation Remnant Shawnee", he could not use the name "Ridgetop" because another fake group uses that name. But give poor Charlie a break, he has gotten his little tribe (consisting of family) a 501c status and now claims they are a church! Its not like churches are full of liars, thieves and scam artists.
So, we come to a comment left here by a reader concerning this person, "Chief Charlie Two Hats Banta" concerning his misuse of the ICWA, and this in turn did catch the attention of my dear friend, and myself of course!
It was interesting when two nights ago, my friend seen on a Facebook page where a member in the private group "Always Stand Our Ground For Veronica Brown" (or some such name under that) where a person named "Naomi G.S. Banta" posted "I need to contact the person who has the blog Stolen Children ICWA" my friend asked what she needed, and she got a email from Naomi.
Folks, I can tell you this was a bombshell!
Wait, she is not the bombshell, what she wrote is!
"Naomi G. S. Banta
"She signed him away before Regan (Isaac's sister) was born to keep Reagan from being a CHINS case (Child in Need of Services). "
"Reagan was removed at three days when she told the doctor that there were opiates in the house. Then again at about three months old over an eye infection that never did get cared for properly and in near heatstroke. My sister got custody at that point. Before she turned two, the state of Indiana had revoked her parental rights."
"(CPS, after ICWA was invoked, after the judge told them that the baby went with family, STILL offered to place Isaac)"
"Baby number 3 has been adopted out of tribe. Both parents consented, we didn't contest, we were very very relieved that the baby was being taken care of. I stay in contact with the biological mother."
"Isaac is a happy healthy four year old who adores his sisters and brothers. Reagan is two now and she has two big brothers and a little sister and sees Isaac pretty often. Buck, the youngest is a year old, his adoptive Mom is keeping a pretty good record of stuff for him."
"As far as the other stuff? Robin wanted to be adopted into our tribe and she's not. And if you all want, Dad (the chief) did offer to speak to whomever to set all the record straight. We have all of the documentation too..."

Wait, she is not the bombshell, what she wrote is!
"Naomi G. S. Banta
Isaac's mother was adopted, foster to adopt.
What the commenter failed to mention is that Isaac was removed from his home first for shaken baby (still in the air as to WHO) and then later for neglect. The tribe stepped in at first to keep him out of foster care but then eventually worked WITH CPS. ICWA was only invoked to keep him in a family situation."

"and at three days old it was Reagan's bio mom"
"Oops, I don't stay in contact with the biological mother. I stay in contact with Buck's adoptive mother."
"None of these were fast tracked."
OK, lets see if I understand this, Isaac's mother was adopted, ok so that means she is not related to you by blood, check mark that.. so, her child was reported to be abused, and so your dad, a person who made up his own tribe, invoked ICWA to keep this child with family? REALLY? REALLY?
News flash, even REAL Indians who adopt someone who is not Indian cannot make them members of a tribe. But I bet, she didn't know, the person who she was sending this message too already knew about these people, so, she asks her:
OK, ICWA is for Federally Recognized Tribes ONLY, tell me, what federally recognized tribe is you dad the chief of?
Her reply, are you ready for this?
Naomi G. S. Banta
We are Platform Reservation Remnant Band Shawnee - Federally recognized as native but not federally tribal...
Also Cherokee.
Booyah! Gotcha! Wait, didn't I state earlier that this group claims to be a church? Isn't one of the ten commandments "Thou shalt not lie"? If you know my friend, you know she cannot resist a open opportunity like this, so she commented:
"No you not, you are not recognized at all! You people are what us real Shawnees call fakes and frauds. Making shit up as you go along. You think that wannabe group is new to me? I AM a member of a FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED SHAWNEE TRIBE you people want to steal from us and get attention for yourself as SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT you want to lie, twist our history, make shit up, pretend.... but now you crossed a line, YOU state YOU people used a FEDERAL LAW to obtain a child under ICWA"
Naomi replies! (ok I didn't say this woman was smart)
Naomi G. S. Banta
Did I mention my friend cannot resist a opportunity when someone opens a door like this? And she didn't miss it!

we are a TREATY tribe.
And I guess, we did get federally recognized recently. I stand corrected.

"You are not federally recognized at all! Who do you think your talking to? Some idiot that will buy this bullshit?
There is NO SUCH THING as a "treaty tribe"
You want to fucking lie to people, you better be sure it will be people who will buy your bullshit"
(Did I fail to mention my friend can make a sailor blush?)

"Sam will be blogging this, along with your messages and whatever else he needs to do to show the law has been abused!"
Do you think Sam will blog it? I cannot resist something that is this damn good!
No Facebook account for Sam, I depend on friends to get me those tidy pictures that have been put into public viewing on Facebook, I am sure I could find them using other avenues, but why bother when someone like Naomi keeps them all out there for public viewing!
There are a few photos I wish to share, this photo is of the "grandmother drum" The photographer in the background has that "WTH" look on his face, or maybe he wants to tell Charlie he is using the wrong end of the stick.. and he is not the only one in the wrong! Indians see this picture, and they know it belongs to "When White People Go Bad"
Then we have Leeann and Charles Banta, no one has quite figured out what they are wearing, but we suspect they are doing a Revolutionary War re-enactment and Charlie is a English solider with his doting wife, I have no idea what she is holding.
When the Standing Our Ground group, gives people like this credit, they cause harm to their cause, and the Save Veronica Rose group, laughs their asses off. But when SOG removes their most active supporters, who are doing more than complaining and making meme's in a hidden private group, they wind up burning bridges they cannot rebuild, their ship is sinking fast with people like Naomi G.S. Banta at their helm.

Folks, what the Banta's have done, is as unethical as the Capobianco's stealing of little Veronica Brown. And that is the point I want everyone to understand, it does not matter who abuses ICWA, it is being abused, and it is up to us to fight to protect it, and make it stronger, our children depend on us!
My friend asked me to mention founder of Standing Our Ground, lets hear it for Johnna Payne-Hurt, who has a imagination that she can trade mark the term "Standing Our Ground" ... yes, I think she is falling down, because she too is a pretendian.

Veronica Gets A Lifetime Label
Little Veronica Brown, aka Veronica Capobianco, aka Veronica Rose Capobianco... at the young age of four, her adoptive parents, Matt Capobiano and Melanie Duncan Capobianco, aka Veronica's kidnappers, have done the worst thing ever, that anyone could do to a child.. they have had little Veronica legally listed as a "special needs child".
People who have not followed this case, or perhaps reading this case many years later, might think that little Veronica has learning disabilities, when in fact, she is a very bright child, then one might think she has physical handicaps of some kind, and this child is a very healthy, full functioning child. In fact, there is nothing at all wrong with this child, except for the very thing the Capobianco's hate about her, that is the fact that Veronica is a Native American.. and it is due to the Native blood in Veronica that allowed them to get their case pushed through court, and put the horrible title on this child that she is "special needs"
If you consider that Dusten Brown fought in court for his daughter from the second he learned her biological mother, Christinna (sometimes spelled Christina), and known as Christy Maldonado, sold her to the Capobianco's for over ten thousand dollars, then he gained custody of Veronica when she was two years old, only to have her stolen by the Capobianco's when she was four years old.
There is no doubt in over thirteen thousand people who support Dusten to have the right to raise his daughter in HER loving family, and within her culture and for this, Veronica is being punished by being labeled "special needs".
Who does that to a normal, healthy child of which they claim they love? Well, Matt Capobianco and Melanie Duncan Capobiano does! And what makes it worse is the fact that Melanie Duncan Capobianco is in the profession of child psychology, which leaves little doubt to anyone that Veronica has become Melanie's guinea pig to brain wash her and make her believe that she is "her" child. Matt nor Melanie want Veronica to remember her family in Oklahoma. They do not want her to know her daddy loves her, and has always wanted her.
I guess that is why there are so many blogs out there, because thousands of us want Veronica to remember, Veronica should never forget what these vile people have done to her, and her real family.
Capobianco's friends say they are good people, but I disagree, because a good person would not have been so selfish as to fight a biological father for his child, a good person would not label a child as "special needs" when in fact, they are not a special needs person.
I believe, Capobianco's have always wanted nothing more from Veronica than what money she will earn them, for there are special tax credits for people who adopt, and those tax credits jump up real high when people adopt "special needs" children, and the only thing that could get them to label Veronica as "special needs" is the fact she is Native American.
They want Veronica to hate the very blood that runs through her veins. Thankfully, this child has experienced her culture, she has stomp danced, she has shaken the shells, she has danced in a pow wow, she knows the drum, the drum is in her soul, it is part of calling a Indian home when they are lost... and the Capobianco's will learn, Veronica will return home to her family and her people, she will be welcomed and we will dance!
There is little Veronica, dancing at the Cherokee National Holiday 2013, she is leading in the Grand Entry, with Chief Bill John Baker, Baker's wife and granddaughter holding Veronica's hand but out of sight from camera, behind Veronica is her real daddy, Dusten Brown, next to Brown is Robin Brown, Dusten's wife who in this photo is behind Bill John Baker and not seen. Yes Veronica, remember the pow wow? The sounds of the drums calling to you as I type, and they will call for you until you return home, then we all shall dance a victory dance!
Veronica was so proud of the dance shall her Grandma Brown made for her! She is such a beautiful Indian girl! Each fringe is hand tied onto the shall, don't ever forget Veronica, your grandma and grandpa Brown love you so very, very much!
Every day, so many people are sending prayers to Veronica, we pray that those kidnappers do not try to make you ashamed of being Indian, we pray they do not tell you lies that you are "only 1%" or tell you that you are not "enough" Indian, worse, that they will tell you the Cherokee people will "reject" you, because none of that is true... In the Indian world, there is no percentage, either you are, or you are not Indian, and dear Veronica, you are very much Indian!
*Notice to Capobianco's or their attorney's... I know you try to get the photos removed from all online sources that display Veronica with her real family, photos of her with her father, or photos of her enjoying life during the two years she enjoyed with her daddy, I am sure you want to remove all images so you can lie to her... The images I have posted are not owned by you, these images have been used in public newspapers and therefore public domain. I am standing on my first amendment rights. If you attempt, or have a third party attempt to remove my freedom of speech, I will sue you*
Love as always,
Sam

The introduction to the welfare lady
Her memories of her childhood are very clear, she remembers dancing at stomp dances as early as the age of three, she remembers her belly jiggling when her aunt carried her into a pow wow arena and danced while holding her. She remembers happy times and sad times. She was always a part of her family and tribe.
When her parents divorced, she was four years old, she shocked her mother with details she gave of her grandmothers earrings she wore during that time, when her mother disagreed, stating her mother never wore a pair of earrings like that, a aunt said "OH! I know those earrings! I have them!" to which the aunt not only produced the earrings, but gave them to my friend who so vividly remembered them, the color, the shape and how they moved.
I never would doubt my friends memory when it comes to details on her life, so I can only imagine the horror of which she describes to me, that I am going to share here, with anyone who finds this blog.
Never regretted growing up and being little when the Beatles came to America, it seemed to have been a different world, a different time. It was a time when you could sleep with your windows open, and your doors unlocked. The Boston Strangler was a world away from where she lived with her mother and her sister.
The house was small, there was what she says is a bedroom and a half, because the second bedroom was so small a roll away bed could barely fit in! Todays standards, some walk in closets are bigger than the second bedroom was. The floors were all hard wood, back then, carpet was a luxury. The kitchen was open, and looked out over a sunken living room, with high ceilings. Outside, in the back yard was a two foot stone wall, and a garage that her grandpa put in a wood burning stove so he could work there in the winter time. In the front yard was a lilac bush, with other bushes that flowered, but she loved the lilacs best of all.
The house set back away from the street, with a long brick driveway that went straight to the door. The house itself was built like a log cabin. It was her most favorite home of all! She loved that house!
One day in 1965, her mother was frantic, cleaning everything! Waxing the floors, scrubbing down the windows, they had very little furniture, a small black and white television that they rented for five dollars a week. The little girl, then aged 6, asked why was this fuss? Her mother explained to her the welfare lady was coming to check on them, no explaining was needed, as this small girl knew, when the welfare showed up, Native children would disappear, most were never seen again. Her fear of the welfare lady put her into tears, her mother calmed her down and let her know everything would be okay.
Her mom worked at a store as a cashier, she worked the graveyard shift, and the family could not afford a babysitter. Family would come and stay with the girls, they were always cared for.
Her mother washed and ironed everything her girls were to wear that day, the girl didn't like the feeling of starch on her underwear and socks! Their hair was fixed up. she wore a perfectly starched and ironed red and blue plaid dress that tied in the back with lace on the white collar, her shoes were black dress shoes that hurt her feet, and so, everything was set to welcome the welfare lady.
The lady arrived, spoke with the mother, and talked to the girls, checking over the girls for any signs of bruises, even looking into their mouths to see if their teeth had been brushed! Oh how the little girl wanted to kick off these starched clothes and shoes and run away! But she knew she had to be a perfect child. The welfare lady checked into the refrigerator, the cupboards, checked the bedrooms, and frowned on the little half bedroom stating that was not acceptable.
The child felt this woman was far too nosey, and so wished she could tell the snooty lady such, but she behaved.
The lady left, with promises to return. And so it all began...
The young girls learned that anytime, a nice car, with a woman dressed all up in high heels came to the house, it was the dreaded welfare lady! They would see the car coming up the brick driveway, and they would go out the other door and hide! Hide fast! She will take us away! These girls lived with this fear. It did not matter the weather, rain, hail, snow, or hot summer days, once, when the girl had turned seven years old, the welfare lady showed up, and in great fear, she ran, she forgot her coat, and her shoes, ran out and hid behind the stone wall, it had been snowing, it was so cold! She had no idea of how long it was before the welfare lady left, but nothing could have made her come out of her hiding place!
It was that summer, the family packed up and left their much loved little house. They went and lived with a friend of their mother, a friend who welcomed them to be part of her family, and thus, the family dropped off the grid of the ever spying welfare. It was difficult for them, no home of their own, feeling like criminals when they broke no laws. Their mother and her good friend both sacrificing to be sure the welfare would not take two little Indian girls.
Her biggest fear is not for herself, it is for her grandchildren. She does not want to have to teach her grandchildren how to hide from welfare people, but she will. This time it would be different, she said she would build a hiding room for her grandchildren, it will be a hidden safety room, where they would be warm in the winter, dry during rain storms, and cool during the summer.... but why should she have to do that?
The legal system needs to follow the law. Adoption attorneys need to consider the rights of fathers, and mostly, the children need to be respected and not traumatized so those who cannot have children are satisfied
When her parents divorced, she was four years old, she shocked her mother with details she gave of her grandmothers earrings she wore during that time, when her mother disagreed, stating her mother never wore a pair of earrings like that, a aunt said "OH!

Outside, in the back yard was a two foot stone wall, and a garage that her grandpa put in a wood burning stove so he could work there in the winter time. In the front yard was a lilac bush, with other bushes that flowered, but she loved the lilacs best of all.
The house set back away from the street, with a long brick driveway that went straight to the door. The house itself was built like a log cabin. It was her most favorite home of all! She loved that house!
One day in 1965, her mother was frantic, cleaning everything! Waxing the floors, scrubbing down the windows, they had very little furniture, a small black and white television that they rented for five dollars a week. The little girl, then aged 6, asked why was this fuss? Her mother explained to her the welfare lady was coming to check on them, no explaining was needed, as this small girl knew, when the welfare showed up, Native children would disappear, most were never seen again. Her fear of the welfare lady put her into tears, her mother calmed her down and let her know everything would be okay.
Her mom worked at a store as a cashier, she worked the graveyard shift, and the family could not afford a babysitter. Family would come and stay with the girls, they were always cared for.
Her mother washed and ironed everything her girls were to wear that day, the girl didn't like the feeling of starch on her underwear and socks! Their hair was fixed up. she wore a perfectly starched and ironed red and blue plaid dress that tied in the back with lace on the white collar, her shoes were black dress shoes that hurt her feet, and so, everything was set to welcome the welfare lady.
The lady arrived, spoke with the mother, and talked to the girls, checking over the girls for any signs of bruises, even looking into their mouths to see if their teeth had been brushed! Oh how the little girl wanted to kick off these starched clothes and shoes and run away! But she knew she had to be a perfect child. The welfare lady checked into the refrigerator, the cupboards, checked the bedrooms, and frowned on the little half bedroom stating that was not acceptable.
The child felt this woman was far too nosey, and so wished she could tell the snooty lady such, but she behaved.
The lady left, with promises to return. And so it all began...
The young girls learned that anytime, a nice car, with a woman dressed all up in high heels came to the house, it was the dreaded welfare lady! They would see the car coming up the brick driveway, and they would go out the other door and hide! Hide fast! She will take us away! These girls lived with this fear. It did not matter the weather, rain, hail, snow, or hot summer days, once, when the girl had turned seven years old, the welfare lady showed up, and in great fear, she ran, she forgot her coat, and her shoes, ran out and hid behind the stone wall, it had been snowing, it was so cold! She had no idea of how long it was before the welfare lady left, but nothing could have made her come out of her hiding place!
It was that summer, the family packed up and left their much loved little house. They went and lived with a friend of their mother, a friend who welcomed them to be part of her family, and thus, the family dropped off the grid of the ever spying welfare. It was difficult for them, no home of their own, feeling like criminals when they broke no laws. Their mother and her good friend both sacrificing to be sure the welfare would not take two little Indian girls.
Her biggest fear is not for herself, it is for her grandchildren. She does not want to have to teach her grandchildren how to hide from welfare people, but she will. This time it would be different, she said she would build a hiding room for her grandchildren, it will be a hidden safety room, where they would be warm in the winter, dry during rain storms, and cool during the summer.... but why should she have to do that?
The legal system needs to follow the law. Adoption attorneys need to consider the rights of fathers, and mostly, the children need to be respected and not traumatized so those who cannot have children are satisfied

We Demand Our Privacy!
Earlier was written about Matt and Melanie Capobianco's need for the media attention. They called news conferences in South Carolina, and in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They, along with Jessica Munday, and lets not forget the opportunist who stalked the Brown family and Veronica, Troy Dunn!
When Matt, Melanie and Jessica began their media circus, going very public on the show Dr. Phil, CNN, Fox News, HLN and every news station they could get their pouting mugs on, they GAVE UP THEIR RIGHT TO PRIVACY!
Troy Dunn had his cameras rolling on them every second he could get, why? For his "documentary" he is doing on this little girl... a child who has been FORCED into the media by Matt Capobianco, Melanie Duncan Capobianco, Jessica Munday, and Troy Dunn.
Now Matt Capobianco, Melanie Duncan Capobianco are crying "WE WANT OUR PRIVACY!" Nope, sorry, you are NO LONGER INTITLED TO PRIVACY! You gave that up, for yourself and your STOLEN child.
So far, they have succeeded in getting photos scrubbed from Facebook, and other places, but since these photos have been in the media, and on Facebook, provided BY the Capobianco's, they no longer have a voice in the matter! It is all PUBLIC DOMAIN!
Example of a photo they want removed, and have been successful in getting removed and banned on Facebook:
This is a photograph supplied by the Brown family gathering for Veronica's fourth birthday party, in this photo, are members of the Brown family, Veronica's REAL family... and there is Veronica, dressed in her favorite color, pink, right there in front center.
Here is another picture of Veronica from her birthday party, HER mommy helping her play soft ball! What a great time they had! And another photo not allowed on Facebook due to the demands of the Capobianco's.
Maybe Matt and Melanie do not want Veronica to remember these happy, happy times with her very loving family, so they make the choice to "scrub" the web free of these images... funny thing is, these photos are not theirs to scrub! These photos were taken out in the open! These photos do not belong to the Capobiancos, nor do they own a copyright on them! In fact, the child in the photo is Veronica BROWN, and since she is in the open, no privacy laws would be violated. But then again, Capobianco's have given up their right to privacy!
Hey Matt, Melanie, Jessica and Troy, don't like what I write? Don't like the truth? Here is a photo for you, specially from me!
You're welcomed!
Love,
Sam

She remembers everything!
The words of the Capobianco's as quoted in their local news rag, the "Charleston Post and Courier", that Veronica "remembered their house! Even her bedroom!"
Was it mentioned Jessica Munday's brother, Dave Munday is a employee there who wrote many stories on Veronica? The Charleston Post and Courier has always reported this case, the way Munday asked them to do, not biased at all is it?
I present to everyone, a photograph from the Post and Courier of Matt and Melanie Capobianco, standing in the bedroom of which Veronica left when her real daddy got custody of her.
Then a news story from the same paper, showing the room they claim she remembers:
The only thing I can see that might be similar is Melanie's frumpy style of dressing.

Dedication to Veronica
Matt and Melanie Capobiano have stolen little Veronica from her home, from her daddy who she loves, from her whole family to which she shares her DNA with. She was stolen from her tribe. As a enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, no one can remove her tribal membership, no one but Veronica herself, and she must be at least 18 years old before the tribe will accept her name being taken off their member rolls.
To thousands of people, Veronica will always be, Veronica Brown, very much loved by her family, and her sister, Kelsy, who called her Ronnie.
My life, along with many others, have dedicated ourselves to be sure, Veronica will know the truth! We are demanding our First Amendment Rights, our Freedom of Speech, to expose the lies told by Matt Capobianco, Melanie Capobianco, Jessica Munday and her Trio Solutions, along with Lisa Morris of the "Christian Coalition for Indian Child Welfare"
When South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that Dusten Brown was a thwarted father, and that he was to have custody, the Capobianco's kept Veronica until they had exhausted their appeals. Veronica was turned over to Dusten Brown, her REAL father in Decemeber 2011.
The Capobianco's, along with the help of Jessica Munday of Trio Solutions, had began a media circus, going public with their stories, their first lie was "Veronica, the adopted daughter of the Capobiancos" truth was, Veronica had NOT been adopted, the Capobianco's were only considered a "potential adoptive parents" aka "PAP" and there is no doubt that both Melanie and Matt knew they had not adopted Veronica, because it is in Melanie's court testimony that they were not Veronica's parents.
Anytime, Capobianco's could get the media attention to their cause, they were ever present, providing photographs of Veronica, and making sure their faces looked so sad, which was a ploy to gain sympathy from the public, and they would go to the news media to give statements, and always present was Jessica Munday, who would talk her tough talk, while Matt and Melanie leaned upon each other in the back ground. They were not very good with their crocodile tears, Melanie, as if on cue, would put her fact into Matt's shoulder, pretend to cry, turn around, with no tears. Ahhh but the public fell for it, they fell hook, line and stinker! Yes, stinker, because this acting trio just stunk!
So, Veronica, when you seek the truth, seek it all, don't let anyone tell you that only they have the truth, seek the truth for yourself, seek the court transcripts which have been made public, read where Matt and Melanie both admit to paying your birth mother $10,000.00 to be able to obtain you. Read where they KNEW you were a Indian child, and knew this BEFORE you were born, be sure to pay close attention to where they confess, YOUR father would not consent to a adoption. Read how they lied, to get you out of Oklahoma without the knowledge or approval of your father, or the Cherokee Nation.
Make sure you make up your OWN mind, don't let these people influence you, do it on your own if you need.. but know, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOMED HOME! Home to Tahlequah, Oklahoma where your tribe is, home to Nowata, Oklahoma where you lived for nearly two years and you were so very happy!
