LINCOLN (AP) — While applying for her driver's license at age 16, Karen Hardenbrook saw her birth certificate and learned what her adoptive parents from Broken Bow never told her: she was born in Winnebago and her mother was a member of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska. As a baby, the state removed her from her biological grandmother's crowded home on the reservation.

Happy Easter to my three MIA, precious grandchildren.
Not a day goes by that you are not thought of and remembered. Easter's were always fun filled and happy with you Austin and Ally. The fun times we shared before your cousin Bella was stolen, who never even got to spend Easter with her REAL family, stolen at birth from all of us.
Hopefully soon, the three of you will come home where you belong. Where you're so loved and so greatly missed. Easter and our traditional Easter egg hunt's just aren't the same without you.
Hoping all three of you have a Happy Easter and remember our Easter's as a REAL family.
Maybe next year will bring all of you home. We hope so.

Love forever and always, Grammy, Grampy and your entire REAL Family!
