The Capobiancos lost custody of Veronica when the court stripped them of their parental rights and ordered custody be given to Dusten Brown, the child’s biological father. Although he had previously waived his rights to parent Veronica, he later changed his mind and sought custody.
Ordinarily such a case would be thrown out since it’s widely believed that once parental rights are waived they stayed waived because it is in the best interest of the child to have a permanent and stable home.
However, Brown has Cherokee heritage, which entitles him to a special exception under the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Baby Veronica should be returned to her adopted parents.
