Adoption of Dakota G. CA2/6
Marvin D., the biological father of Dakota G., appeals from the judgment terminating his parental rights and freeing Dakota for adoption by her maternal grandparents, respondents Susan G. and Geoffrey G. (Fam. Code, § 7822.) Appellant claims that respondents did not comply with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C.S. § 1901 et seq.). Statutory and case law require that we reverse and remand with directions to comply with ICWA. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 224.2, subds. (a) & (d); 25 U.S.C.S. § 1912(a); In re Isaiah W. (2016) 1 Cal.5th 1, 5.)
