Ending a bitterly fought contest over custody of the child that led to the U.S. Supreme Court in April over the application of the Indian Child Welfare Act, the Capobiancos will be filing shortly with the family court to finalize the adoption. Dusten Brown has five days to file for a rehearing in state court or the adoption will become final.

#BabyVeronica reignites debate on Native American adoption
Court ruling returns Native American child to white adoptive parents.
A three-year-old Native American child known as “Baby Veronica” has been caught in a political tug-of-war between her adoptive parents and biological father. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court in the US state of South Carolina ordered that she be returned again to her adoptive parents.
Capobianco. Such a meaningful name. It means "white capo". LOL
