Adopting Indian Children
Minnesota Adoption Law Firm
Minnesota is blessed with a rich Native American culture and heritage. The federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and the state Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act (MIFPA) are laws that provide additional safeguards in adoptions of native children. Among them, a child’s tribe is notified of the adoption and may intervene in the process.
If you are considering adopting an Indian Child, it is critically important to have an attorney experienced in these matters. Give us a call and we’ll talk!
