Order by the court for the relinquishment of the child.
Skagit County Juvenile Department Cause Number 1653A.

One of her parents was likely Native American due to her appearance.
Due to the nature of the document we are leaning towards her mother being a minor. Her birth wasn't registered until 10 days after her birth
