Yes, I agree with the majority opinion in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl. I ultimately believe that the Court came down with the correct decision. The decision to not let the Indian Child Welfare Act protect a parent that never had custody of the child.

Some parents worry how that secrecy will affect the child later in life and chooses to keep an open relationship with the birthmother. Furthermore, adoption is a delicate process and parents should be aware on how adoption has been associated with the feeling of abandonment that leads to the later struggle of the child’s understanding their identity.

In the last four decades, the concept of the American family has undergone a radical transformation, reflecting society¡¯s growing openness. Among all segments of society, there is a greater acceptance of a variety of family structures ¨C from single parenting to blended families to same sex parenting of children.
