The Navajo Nation has asked a federal judge to decide whether it has custodial rights of a 20-month-old girl who was born to a Caucasian mother and a Navajo father and placed for adoption immediately after her birth.
In a petition filed this week in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City, the nation claims that LDS Family Services, which facilitated the adoption, failed to notify tribal officials and allow them to oversee adoption proceedings as required under the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978.
