The Indian Child Welfare Act was upheld by the Supreme Court despite challenges from several states and families looking to adopt Native American children.

At issue is whether the high court should toss out or severely dismantle the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, meant to protect Native American rights in state child custody proceedings. It has long been championed by tribal leaders as a means of preserving their families and culture.

"It's been three-and-a-half years in court, and we have not been able to finalize the adoption," Chad Brackeen told Fox News Digital."Ultimately, these two siblings belong together."
