Our adoption agency called today with the wonderful news that both Indian tribes have written to clear the adoption. This means that they aren't claiming any interest in the child under ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act), and aren't going to block the adoption.
We are thrilled and relieved.
Now we just have to wait for the baby itself.
