| Veronica Brown yesterday |
It was not on television, it was dignified, it was as private as possible, but it happened last night: Dusten Brown gave his daughter Veronica to the adoptive parents who treated her no more than a piece of property they had paid for. Now she was signed, sealed and delivered into the hands of Matt and Melanie Copabianco, and from reports, whisked immediately out of the county. It is likely they will be back home today in South Carolina, a thousand miles away from her father--her real father--in Oklahoma.
From new reports we learned that Dusten Brown said goodbye to Veronica at Jack Brown House, the tribal
headquarters where they have been living in Tahlequah. As Brown
and his wife, Robin, watched from a window, a Cherokee County sheriff's
deputy and a Cherokee Nation marshal led Veronica to the nearby
marshal's building, where the handover occurred about 7:30 p.m.
