In re Joseph F.
In this juvenile dependency case, Court hold that the juvenile court acted within its discretion in denying a motion by the minors mother to modify the order placing the minor with prospective adoptive parents, and in entering an order terminating the parental rights of the minors parents in order to free him for adoption. Unfortunately, the final implementation of the juvenile courts order must be delayed, at a minimum, because of the failure of the social services agency and the juvenile court to comply fully with their duties under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
