The entire juvinile court system is based on family reunification, which many times is not "in the best interest of the children" from an outsider's perspective.

If you read the Supreme Court hearing transcript you can see that the Cherokee Nation was not properly notified. Why give the child to adoptive parents when her father, who is more than capable of providing for her, wants her?
