In re Ezra D.
Appellant is the biological father of dependent child Ezra D., whom the Tulare County Superior Court freed for adoption (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26) in December 2006.[1] Appellant contends the court failed at earlier stages of the dependency proceedings to: make an adequate paternity inquiry of Ezras mother, inform him of his rights as an alleged father and produce him in court. He also claims Indian Children Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.; ICWA) notice violations. On review, we are not persuaded by appellants paternity-related issues. Nevertheless, Court reverse the termination order for a limited remand regarding ICWA notice.
