The case of the adopted Cherokee girl…

…the Supreme Court just decided in favor of the adoptive parents is an act of sexual discrimination.

Why?

Here’s the relevant passage:

The phrase “continued custody” thus refers to custody that a parent already has (or at least had at some point in the past). As a result, §1912(f) does not apply where the Indian parent never had custody of the Indian child.

If it had been the biological mother who was disputing the adoption she would have won because, of course, biological mothers alway start with custody.

Just another example of how the only real choice a man ever gets when it comes to children is whether to wear a condom or not.
