12 years later parents find that their daughters were switched at birth

12 years later parents find that their daughters were switched at birth « Pinkoddy's Blog:

As a new parent there are many situations you may or may not prepare yourself for, but no-one would ever imagine that at 12 years old it could turn out that your daughter isn’t yours!
That is what happened to 2 very different Russian families, whose daughters were switched at birth. The girls are very different with one having blonde hair and the other being very dark.
In fact the reason it came to light was because one of the father’s split from the mother and refused to pay maintenance on the grounds that she wasn’t his as she didn’t look like him. So they had DNA tests which revealed that she did not belong to the mother either.

But now it is too late to sue hospital staff as too much time has passed. Both girls wish to remain where they are.

Part One of Three Part NPR Investigation in ICWA Compliance

Part One of Three Part NPR Investigation in ICWA Compliance | Turtle Talk:

Key Findings Of This Investigation
* Each year, South Dakota removes an average of 700 Native American children from their homes. Indian children are less than 15 percent of state’s the child population, but make up more than half the children in foster care.

* Despite the Indian Child Welfare Act, which says Native American children must be placed with their family members, relatives, their tribes or other Native Americans, native children are more than twice as likely to be sent to foster care as children of other races, even in similar circumstances.

* Nearly 90 percent of Native American children sent to foster care in South Dakota are placed in non-native homes or group care.

* Less than 12 percent of Native American children in South Dakota foster care had been physically or sexually abused in their homes, below the national average. The state says parents have “neglected” their children, a subjective term. But tribe leaders tell NPR what social workers call neglect is often poverty; and sometimes native tradition.

* A close review of South Dakota’s budget shows that they receive almost $100 million a year to subsidize its foster care program.
