In re S.E.
Jamie E. (mother) appeals from an order of the juvenile court terminating her parental rights to S.E. and B.B. (the children) under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. Her sole issue on appeal is that the juvenile court failed to comply with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.). Counsel for the children has joined in mothers argument.
The juvenile court is directed to order the Department to give notice to the BIA in compliance with the ICWA and related federal and state law. Once the juvenile court finds that there has been substantial compliance with the notice requirements of the ICWA, it shall make a finding with respect to whether the children are Indian children.
