In re A.R. CA4/3
A.R. (Father) appeals from the juvenile court’s judgment terminating his parental rights to Jane Doe (Jane) and John Doe (John). Father argues we must conditionally reverse the court’s judgment because the Orange County Social Services Agency (SSA) and the court did not comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). SSA concedes the issue. We agree SSA and the court failed to adequately investigate Jane and John’s American Indian heritage. We conditionally affirm the court’s judgment terminating Father’s parental rights to Jane and John, and remand the matter to allow SSA and the juvenile court to fully comply with ICWA.
