Adoptive Couple v Baby Girl Cert Petition
No 12-__ Adoptive Couple v Baby Girl REDACTED
Questions presented:
(1) Whether a non-custodial parent can invoke ICWA to block an adoption voluntarily and lawfully initiated by a non-Indian parent under state law.
(2) Whether ICWA defines “parent” in 25 U.S.C. § 1903(9) to include an unwed biological father who has not complied with state law rules to attain legal status as a parent.
