Hi, I'm not adopted, but a friend of mine and his siblings were. The problem is that it was done illegally. My friend and his siblings are Sioux Indians. They were taken from their parents in Canada and brought to the USA. This was done in the '70's by a well known adoption agency. The company concoted a false birth certificate which said he was born in the USA , changed his name and placed him into an orphanage. Each child was taken separately, so they never saw each other again.
My questions are these: How can he go about getting what is due him and right the wrong committed? Are there any statue of limitations on something like this? He says he can prove it all, what will Canada do? Can the adoption agency be penalized?
I don't think he'll ever have full closure in the matter. For one he's been searching for years and as found only one sister. Plus, he was told that their mother passed from a broken heart in her 30's.
If anyone is still out there on adoption.com and has any advise, don't hesitate to drop a line.
Thank you, peace
