Full text

Any Indian child accepted for foster care or preadoptive placement shall be placed in the least restrictive setting that most approximates a family and in which such child's special needs, if any, may be met. The child shall also be placed within reasonable proximity to such child's home, taking into account any special needs of the child. In any foster care or preadoptive placement, a preference shall be given, in the absence of good cause to the contrary, to a placement with: (1) A member of the Indian child's extended family; (2) A foster home licensed, approved or specified by the Indian child's tribe; (3) An Indian foster home licensed or approved by an authorized non-Indian licensing authority; or (4) An institution for children approved by an Indian tribe or operated by an Indian organization that has a program suitable to meet the Indian child's needs.
