Hi Everyone I want to thank everyone for all the help we are receiving on this. I have talked to the family again because I wanted to make sure they had a lawyer check into it . And make sure it was no Scam and on the up and up. And it is. They( the parents) have to show proof to the Cherokee Nation that they have Indian Heritage something about the Indian Laws . But they have already been to several hearings and they have come to a draw sort of they can still be foster parents of the children but not fully adopt them until they have the proof. So the Indian Council are trying to work with them. And they have got another month before the next hearing . So that is where I came in they have came to a brick wall on their tree. And have never tried tracing their tree before . I know it is hard work it has took me ten years and more to just put a dent in mine . What they have been working on for a couple of months . Also the Western Cherokee Nation in Paragould is also helping to see what they can come up with. So keep the ideas coming maybe we can all pitch in and help. I know now what the Parents are talking about when they say taking them away it is not the Cherokee Nation exactly to blame . By being foster parents you are only allowed to keep the children for a certain amount of time and then there moved to another foster familyso if they don't get to adopted them they will be placed at a later time somewhere else..I guess if I was in there shoes I would be feeling the same way when I wanted to keep the children and didn't want to loose them. I'm sorry I confused anyone it was really confusing and hard for me to understand especially when they are very emotional about it.They have also contacted The Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma but I'm sure this is starting to get expensive and are probally not having a choice about it other than to try to do it theirselves. tina Greene County, Ar.

Tina: I have a book from the Cherokee Nation of 5 dif. rolls it's just a small book hard to follow, The down side is if the indian line is Echota Cherokee.But if I can find it in my book at least they'll have a number but then still be back to proving they have ties to the names.
