This could never be a shared custody arrangement for the families would have to agree on everything. Shared custody only works with divorcing parents who are ready to agree on schools, summers, camps, doctors, etc.<br /><br />Veronica was originally returned to her real father at two, after a trial in which the ICWA was invoked; but the testimony of the birth mother is also riddled with lies, as has been shown from the testimony itself. There were so many violations of how a proper adoption should have been done that the adoption proceedings could have been overturned on those grounds alone--forget the ICWA. <br /><br />Veronica was given to her biological father after a lengthy court fight. That is quite different from now returning her to people who may be good caretakers but will never replace her true daddy, with whom she shares not only a likeness, but traits, preferences, a way of doing things. <br /><br />My daughter came up the steps one day with her usual heavy footfall--just like the one shared in my family. When she got to the top of the steps, my husband (not her father) said to her: You have a step just like Lorraine.

Just like the Biological mother changed her mind on whether to keep her when Mr. Brown refused to pay child support. Obviously these two could not formulate an arrangement that was mutually agreeable in a rational manner while keeping the baby’s welfare as the central focal point. I did not know about the Birth date and name confusion. This whole case reeks! “And another similar case involving a child with Indian blood in Oklahoma being illegally whisked to South Carolina has cropped up. Raymond W. Godwin--who was the original adoption attorney for Matt and Melanie Capobianco--is the very same South Carolina attorney involved in this case. Something is indeed rotten in Godwin's office, and it's not rotting fish.”<br /> “We have noted before the inherent bias of Justice Roberts in this case. Not only is he an adoptive father through suspicious means though, strictly speaking, probably legal, he is a friend to the lawyer, Lori Alvino McGill, representing the girl's mother, Christy Maldonado. We presume McGill, who has posted some very nasty things about Brown on Facebook, is presenting Maldonado pro bono, as Ms. Maldonado is not a woman of means. McGill, who works for a top-drawer law firm in Washington, DC. (Latham & Watkins), is a former clerk of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her husband clerked for Justice John Roberts when he was with the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D. C. District. One website, Above the Law, has them competing with another couple for the October 2006 "Couple of the Month" designation during the month they married. We read elsewhere that Roberts attended the wedding.”<br /><br />http://www.firstmotherforum.com/2013/08/dusten-brown-continues-to-fight-for-his.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-46354527309112753302013-09-13T18:58:06.956-04:002013-09-13T18:58:06.956-04:00Thanks for your comments, Jay, Robin, all of you w...Thanks for your comments, Jay, Robin, all of you who have written in support of Dusten Brown.<br /><br />Once we begin transferring children from fit parents to others who appear more fit, we have lost our humanity.

They raised her from birth to 27 months and that bond created a parental love. I know because I am an adoptive parent who will stand up to anyone who suggests I do not love my son like a "real" parent. Parental love is intangible, impossible to fully characterize or quantify. All I can say is my love for my adopted son feels like honest to goodness parental love.<br /><br />There is another child whom I love with the same parental intensity I feel towards my son. Nina is a girl my husband and I once thought would become our adopted daughter, certain in the belief that our home and love was best for her. Until we got to know her biological mother, Rayna, over the course of more than a year while Nina lived with us. That’s when we realized that if Rayna was able to rehabilitate to a point where the courts deemed her fit to raise her daughter, it was their fundamental right to be together that we could never fight to take away. <br /><br />Unfortunately, those of us who consider adoption are fed the notion that ANY child who is placed with you is better off with you. It is the feeling that you can do better for a child that allows an adoptive parent to justify their desire for a child. That feeling was manifest in Melanie Capobianco's testimony, when she characterized her "want" of Veronica as greater than that of anybody else's. I am sure she and her husband believe that their “want” should win because they are “saving” Veronica from a parent who is too flawed to raise her and, therefore, “wants” her less. No amount of evidence to the contrary would convince them otherwise. Dusten Brown’s fitness as a parent would not be doubted under family court standards – yet thousands of “Save Veronica” supporters applaud the Capobiancos’ view of him as the “lesser” parent.<br /><br />The night before my daughter Nina (always the daughter of my heart) was to return to her now rehabilitated mother, I slept with her in her toddler bed. I wrapped my body around her, wanting to keep her safe forever, believing nobody, not even her mother, could protect her as I could. Yet I handed her over - from a two parent family living in a nice home with lots of toys and clothes and books, to a single mother who at the time was still struggling, on welfare, with an unstable living situation. <br /><br />It was the right thing to do. Why? Because Nina would get back the family of her roots, a biological mother who loved her and was able to keep her safe. Family courts agree that you get to keep your biological children if you can keep them safe. Any higher standard and you will erode the fiber of society, the feeling of continuity that we human beings get from our origins, the fundamental right of people to marry, to procreate, to be together as a biologically connected family, a right that is acknowledged in various ways by our Constitution and the United Nations. My very strong, very real love for Nina is not enough to deprive her of that right, not when she has a fit biological mother. Unfortunately, this standard often is ignored in so-called “voluntary” adoptions that are contentious, leaving fit biological parents like Dusten Brown hounded by legal maneuvers, condemned to a broken family on lesser grounds.<br /><br />It is tragic that the Capobiancos did not establish a friendly connection with Dusten Brown early on, when Veronica was four months old and he objected to the adoption. The Capobiancos were not Veronica's legal parents then or indeed throughout the 27 month period that they had her. It behooved their social and moral conscience to find a way to secure, for this girl Veronica whom they love so much, her fundamental right to be with biological family - and I am willing to bet than in the process, Dusten Brown would have made them a part of his family, just like Rayna did with us. What the Capobiancos have instead are a string of legal victories, loads of acrimonious history with Veronica's loved ones and a big loss for Veronica.<br />Jay Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592280612055255470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-85514466481964898902013-09-11T21:22:36.823-04:002013-09-11T21:22:36.823-04:00Diana B: Would it surprise you to know that the m...Diana B: Would it surprise you to know that the most ardent commenters here are adoptees and adoptive parents? <br /><br />I think that may put a different spin on the comments you read.

You are misinformed about most of the fa...@Diana B,<br />You are misinformed about most of the facts of this case, which as a Capobianco supporter, doesn't surprise me.<br /><br />First of all, Dusten Brown never agreed to adoption so he was not looking for adoptive parents who would be there through thick and thin for his daughter. He planned to be the one to love, provide for, and protect his own child. I read an article that said in Native American culture it is the norm when a couple are separated for the mother to get custody and the father to have visitation. So it is certainly understandable that Dusten would give primary custody to the mother. That does not, however, imply in any way, shape or form that the mother can then give the child to complete strangers without the father's consent.<br /><br />Also, DB began fighting for his daughter the minute he learned about the potential adoption when Veronica was 4 months old. He did not go away for two years and then just show up like a bad penny. The only reason Ronnie was with the C's for so long was because they refused to return her to her natural father despite knowing that he was not relinquishing her.<br /><br />I understand your point that it is hard hearted to say that the C's should just find another child, when it is obvious that they have attached to Veronica. I do understand that one child is not interchangeable with another. With that said, however, it is absolutely the Capobianco's fault that they find themselves in this predicament. They knew from the beginning, from the birth mother, Christy Maldonado, herself, that the natural father would not agree to adoption and that the child was a member of Cherokee Nation. The C's thought that they could use legal chicanery to bypass a natural father's rights and her rights as a native American. <br /><br />At one point, I would have had some compassion, some sympathy for the C's, but not anymore. They tried to circumvent the law and have only themselves to blame. They are NOT Veronica's real parents. Dusten Brown IS her REAL parent. And the sooner Matt and Melanie realize that, the better.<br /><br />It does dishearten me to hear a fellow adoptee throw out the 'real parents' argument over a child who was never available for adoption in the first place.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-63482619477679094812013-09-11T15:57:00.131-04:002013-09-11T15:57:00.131-04:00This is an old post.

His <i>own</i> child. <br /><br />If adoptive parents loved their adopted children as much as biological parents loved their children, and felt responsible for them, you would not be reading about the huge volume of "re-homing" that is going on. You can't "re-home" your own child the way these people are doing. Take a moment to read<br />http://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part5<br /><br />The Capobiancos may love Veronica, but if they loved her fully, they would let her be raised by her own daddy, and not demand that she be returned to them like a piece of furniture. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.firstmotherforum.com/2013/09/adoptees-more-likely-to-commit-suicide.html" rel="nofollow">Adoptees More Likely to commit suicide</a><br /><br />Being raised in an adoptive family is not the same, no matter how much love there is, as growing up in your biological family with your kin, who look and to some degree, act like you.

She lived with them for longer than she has lived with her birth father and their love for her is not "less than" his - of course their going to fight for the daughter that they regard in every way as "theirs" - Isn't that what birth parents WANT, that adoptive parents fiercely love and protect their children?? And yet now all these judgmental comments about how they should back off, etc. You cant have it both ways - adoptive parents that in every way regard your surrendered child as thier own to the degree that they are willing to beggar themselves to fight for them - but yet expect them to say "Oh Sorry, I'll just get another" when some late-to-the-game parent decides they want them back.

You can't go into court and decide you will abide by any decision that goes in your favor, and just completely disregard any decision that goes against you. Yes, he is a veteran, I thank him for his service. He's also an alleged felon, and I hope he does time. The baby lived with the adoptive couple for 2 years, where is your outrage for having her ripped from that home?<br /><br />This is without question the most obtuse collection of people I've ever come across on the internet.<br /><br />As to her "Cherokee" tribal heritabe and culture, the little girl is 3/256th Cherokee. Brown had little or nothing to do with the Cherokee culture until it became advantageous to him in this custody case, so why don't ya'll give that a rest? She'll see about as much Cherokee culture in SC as she will with Brown, who was in fact $7000 in arrears on child support before reaching an agreement to pay out the arrears, which is currently being forced by OK DHS. He's still in arrears, but he's working on it, but he's still in arrears.<br /><br />Why do you think he signed away his rights in the first place? He signed away his rights to keep from paying child support. Yeah, he's a stand up guy. He signed the child away because of money. Nothing more, nothing less. If he signer her away, he didn't need to know the mother was going to adopt her, that is irrelevant, period. Once he signed his rights away, to avoid paying child support, the mother, was fully within her rights to adopt the baby out. If he wasn't smart enough to know that, then he should have lawyered up prior to signing the paper. <br /><br />He only wanted the child, for the government assistance she will being his family, and because he could get that without paying support. If he wins custody, which he won't, he'll likely ask for support from the mother, which again, OK DHS would likely award. He signed her away over money, and now he wants her back because of money. He's a far sight from the hero you people are making him out to be.<br /><br />I'll check back in a few days to see if you allow dissenting commentary, or if you just complain about others not allowing yours on their site.

They cheated Veronica and Dusten Brown and his family of the pleasure of two years together while they stubbornly held onto Brown's daughter, fighting him in court.<br /><br />Even after the father gained custody, they fought to get Veronica back and were more than willing to have the father of the child they supposedly love, arrested to enforce a dubious S. Carolina court order which states they should have her.<br /><br />And now, that child that they supposedly love, might be yanked away from her father and other blood kin--the people she dearly loves--so that they can take her home. They paid for her and feel she is a possession they deserve.<br /><br />She is not a possession. She is a human being with the right to be raised by her own blood kin. The Capobiancos are thieves and they must be stopped. If they "win" the case, ultimately they will be the losers, when their dream turns into a nightmare for them, Veronica, and the Browns, from the almost certain emotional fallout from the separation of father and child. If they win, it will set a terrible precedent that says people who have enough money and the right connections can take legally take children from their biological parent who wants to keep them.<br /><br />There is great hope that the Cherokee Nation will stand strong in defense of Veronica's right to be with her own blood family and put an end in tribal court, once and for all, to the shameless covetousness of the Capobiancos.<br /><br />Joliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10767727364544457252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-3829403247516213012013-08-23T21:41:20.512-04:002013-08-23T21:41:20.512-04:00But anon12:50, Veronica is blooming in her father&...But anon12:50, Veronica is blooming in her father's care.

Now is the time to advocate for the well being of one little girl who is right now thriving with the biological family who loves her.<br />Think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-49562778780198501442013-08-22T19:13:37.447-04:002013-08-22T19:13:37.447-04:00This link makes me hopeful that Dusten Brown will ...This link makes me hopeful that Dusten Brown will retain some rights out of all this and, more importantly, that Veronica will get to continue the happy existence she currently has with her paternal family:<br /><br />http://www.newson6.com/story/23176837/expert-says-cherokee-courts-may-have-final-say-in-baby-veronica-caseJay Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592280612055255470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-41514450487272227682013-08-22T16:46:53.677-04:002013-08-22T16:46:53.677-04:00Jennifer, I am disappointed that the "Save Ve...Jennifer, I am disappointed that the "Save Veronica" page decided to delete your very civil and rational questions to them. This was their opportunity to really make their case! Instead, they decided to minimize your principles by attributing them to your fertile state? How offensive!<br /><br />Unfortunately, not enough of an adoptive / prospective adoptive contingent who are supportive of Dusten Brown has posted on their page. Then they would see that there are many of us, fertile and infertile alike, who are floored by their fight for "Veronica's Rights" (Really? Children have a right to be in an adoptive home?!!)Jay Iyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592280612055255470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-54970050191226915972013-08-22T14:37:24.416-04:002013-08-22T14:37:24.416-04:00Robin, Agree totality!

To me this devastating case really boils down to the fact that Dusten never intended to, nor did he , in fact, relinquish his rights for Veronica to be given up for adoption. The South Carolina Family Court and South Carolina Supreme Court both came to that conclusion. Any one who supports the C's is, imo, supporting a kidnapping. This is one effed up country that we are so far gone with adoption mania that we can't see this situation for what it really is.<br /><br /> I'm sick of the 'real' parents argument. The natural parents are always, first and foremost, the child's real parents. If, and this is a big IF, the child truly does need an adoptive family (and that is only when their is no bio-family who wants to and is able to provide a safe home for child) then the APs are real parents, too.<br /><br />From the research I have done, the information about back child support is actually regarding a different man named DustIn Brown, not the DustEn Brown who is Veronica's natural father. DustEn Brown's ex-wife has spoken out publically that DustEn is an excellent father to their daughter. He spends a lot of time with her and financially provides for her. Even if someone does get behind on child support payments that still does not justify STEALING his other child.<br /><br />The Copabiancos have absolutely no rights to this child. As one twitter said "Veronica is 100% Cherokee, 100% American, 50% Brown, and 100% happy." She has every right to be left where she is, to grow up in her own family and her own heritage.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-8679077024946002202013-08-22T09:59:45.403-04:002013-08-22T09:59:45.403-04:00Anonymous: Dusten Brown is not $7,000 behind in ch...Anonymous: Dusten Brown is not $7,000 behind in child support. <br /><br />Most people would prefer to be raised by their own biological families. You are the exception to the rule. <br /><br />The Capobiancos paid money to Christy Maldonado when she agreed to give them Veronica. <br /><br />If the Capobiancos had any real love or compassion in their hearts, they would see that "their" little girl belongs with her father and his family, as she is thriving there.Sarahnoreply@blogger.com
