"Simply because he was Native American" indeed

Wasn't he unable to take custody because he was on duty abroad?

From my understanding he even signed legal documents to that effect.

Want to be that "I am giving up my parental rights" was nowhere in that text?

There is a difference between "I will not seek custody as against the mother of the child" and giving up parental rights to take over from the mother, if the child will be adopted. In fact, different consent forms are generally required. Which is why Brown was served with the intent to adopt paperwork.

Also, here are some views from the Indian Rights Group. http://www.nicwa.org/BabyVeronica/documents/SCOTUS%20fact%20check_Apr4.pdf
