In re Taylor C. CA5
T.C. (mother) appeals from a judgment terminating her parental rights over her now 16-year-old daughter Taylor C. (Taylor) and 12-year-old son, Byron C. (Byron). The judgment frees the children to be adopted by their legal guardian, paternal grandmother Linda C. (grandmother), who petitioned the court to terminate mother’s parental rights pursuant to Probate Code section 1516.5. Mother contends (1) substantial evidence does not support the trial court’s finding that it was in the children’s best interest to be adopted by grandmother, and (2) the court failed to comply with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) (ICWA). We reject her first contention, but remand the matter for purposes of compliance with ICWA’s notice and inquiry provisions.
