In Minnesota, there were communities where there were no children.
In Alaska, there were communities where there were no children.
So please, please do keep baby Veronica and her family in your prayers.
And my name, Dustin, means brave warrior in Cherokee.
And actually, you know, join the army up and go over to Iraq.
I'm like, wow, I'm here for the Cherokees.
I'm the brave warrior out in, you know, deserts.
She said, okay, that's just great.
And almost a month later, she sent me a message saying that she was pregnant, and I was excited.
I mean, to have children with her was one of the things I wanted at that time.
Told her, I can move you and your kids up to the base.
Housing was going to be free on base.
There was schools for her kids.
She could get a job right there on base, you know.
Texting her up, trying to call her, still no answer.
There's a couple times that I've went back to the bar zone, went to her house.
I could hear, you know, voices in the house.
You know, if there was one of them chances I wasn't going to come back, I wanted to make the right choice and let the mother be that sole parent.
Uh, the whole time I thought it was just, you know, the paperwork for me signing custody rights to her.
But when I got done signing, the guy said, you just signed your rights away.
And so did the biological mother.
The baby's been up for adoption.
She's been living in South Carolina for four months.
I should have had a lawyer there with me.
At that point in time, I grabbed the paper.
I mean, I never, never once did I want to give up on my daughter.
Never once did I want to give her up.
I mean, everybody says that I gave her up.
