Girl, six, to be LEGALLY torn away from her loving foster parents of five years because she is '1.5 per cent Native American' and the family is white

  • Lexi, a six-year-old with one-and-a-half per cent Choctaw Native American blood, is about to be ripped away from the only home she's ever known
  • Summer and Rusty Page, Lexi's foster parents, are not Native American
  • Due to the 'Indian Child Welfare Act', Lexi can only live with other Native American families
  • Summer and Rusty from Santa Clara, California, have been fighting for two years to adopt the child
  • Now a court ordered emergency stay has been lifted, the Department of Children and Family Services will try to remove Lexi any day
  • The Choctaw Tribe has decided to place Lexi with a person in Utah who is not Native American and does not live on a reservation
