I apologize, please replace "Native Indian" with "Native American", I tried to edit the post to be more sensitive, but ended up being most insensitive. Also, I checked in Google Chrome and IE9, and the form submit button being hidden beneath the editable frame is problematic.

Your work is very important and I wish you the best. Can you put a link up for donations? Paypal is a great option. Your story has inspired many people and I am sure some of us are looking for a way to help. Also, your submit button for the form falls below the frame, so no new guest comments. Even though I am not a Native Indian adoptee, I am also an adoptee and understand the issues that you have presented and struggle with. Your association will be a great help to those who are seeking their identities and advocating for the children that are struggling in the Native Indian community.

I'm also a First Nations Adoptee. I have a twin brother and we were both adopted in 1966. I've reconnected but he has not. Take care, Jim

I hope you win the nomination sandy your are out there helping adoptee's everyday .

I am part irish and part cherokee on my mom and dads side of the family. My dad is half cherokee and my mom is not sure how much she is. but this is not about me it is about my fiancee he and his brother are indian adopted from canada by a white family here in minnesota. his name is alfred richard goodvin and his brother's name is john alfred goodwin name changed by gov. they are suffering of many of the symtoms you describe in your blog about indian adoptees. they are looking for their birth parents and have been told it will cost them 500 dollars to get that info from the st bonaface hospital in canada. what else can they do . john also needs his birth certificate. what ever you can tell us will be helpful thank you for your time. wzyn
