Tribal elders enjoy an afternoon of games, prizes and food on the Fort Berthold Reservation
A South Carolina couple whose adoption case caught the nation’s attention when they had to hand over their adoptive daughter to her biological father will be featured on the Dr. Phil show Thursday, according to a press release issued by a spokesperson for the couple.
Matt and Melanie Capobianco, the adoptive parents of 3-year-old Veronica, sat down with television talk-show host, Dr. Phil McGraw for an exclusive taping about their situation and how a federal law known as the Indian Child Welfare Act allowed the little girl’s absentee father, Dusten Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation and a resident of the Bartlesville area, to remove her from their home last New Year’s Eve.
