[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you are misunderstanding the SCOTUS decision. They were not ruling on whether Brown was her "legal father" or not. They were ruling on whether the ICWA applied in this case. [/quote] south Carolina does not recognize the right of fathers. If the father was not present for 6 months of the pregnancy or did not pay costs related to pregnancy, he has no right to oppose adoption. But if the mother was to want child support then he still has to pay. So according to SC the child was not born into a family. And only the mother is recognized as a legal parent, and only her consent is needed. Therefore the adoption was not breaking apart a family because it did not exist at the time of the birth[/quote]
