A very well thought out written letter by Linberg. I gave my only child up for adoption when I was nineteen. At that time four decades ago there were hardly any options except to hand her off to Catholic Charities. I do not rue my decision because as a God based program to match infants with potential parents, they did a wonderful job and a wonderful match. I first met my child as a grown up when I was forty two. If other options were to let her live and grow up with her Native roots, then maybe I would have opted for that. On the other hand I wanted the best for her, and she got it. One only thing that concerns me is that I own stock in two Native Corporations, I'm not sure if I can leave them to her since she was adopted by others and not legally my next of kin.  That was always the problem with Natives, our lands taken, so inheritance was always a meager thing to the next generation. It just seems like inheritance issues are never a consideration. This needs to be looked at.
