Tina, I have been reading the correspondence regarding the adoption of the Cherokee Children. You said to keep the ideas coming. My suggestion to the parents would be, of course if they are willing, make an agreement with the Cherokee Nation to educate the children about their heritage and involve them in Cherokee Events and Functions. Possibly in this way, the children will enjoy the benefit of loving parents as well as knowing their heritage and continuing it's life. Not the same as being reared in the environment, but apparently there are no Cherokee parents to take the children. Robin J.
