Native American roots trump in adoption battle over toddler

8. I feel very badly for the adoptive parents.

They will never forget her, but because she is only two years old, she won't remember them. No one would have come to retrieve her at any time of the day or night if her father had not won custody of her in court. The only reason I can think of why she would be taken in the middle of the night is that the authorities might have suspected the adoptive parents would 'run' with her or hide her. The adoptive parents would have been notified at the very least that custody had been awarded to her natural father. They have been fighting about from two weeks after the adoption. As wrenching as it must have been for the adoptive parents to lose the case, the child is young and will adapt. Her emotional well-being is being tended by her father and her extended family.
