The baby’s biological mother is a member of the Leech Lake band of the Ojibwe American Indian tribe. A few months later, the tribe went to court, saying the mother had changed her mind and wanted the baby back — a legitimate claim, they say, under the federal Indian Child Welfare Act.
So Sunday evening, with tears streaming down her face, Heather Larson surrendered Talon to the tribe.
“We don’t understand,” she told “Good Morning America” today. “The only thing we care about is Talon’s welfare. … But imagine your child being taken from you. And you may never see them again. And you may never know where they are. And you may never know if they’re safe, if they’re being fed, if they’re being cared for.”
