In re L.N. CA3
J.N. (mother) appeals from the juvenile court’s orders terminating parental rights over L.N. and C.P. (the minors). (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 366.26, 395.) L.P., the father of C.P., filed a separate appeal, and joins in mother’s contentions on appeal as they pertain to C.P. C.S. is the alleged father of L.N. and is not a party to these proceedings. Mother and father L.P. (collectively parents) contend (1) the juvenile court erred in finding the minors adoptable, and mother contends (2) the Sutter County Health and Human Services Department (Department) failed to comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.).
Agreeing with the latter contention, we will conditionally reverse the order terminating parental rights as to minor L.N. and remand for limited ICWA proceedings. In all other respects, we will affirm the orders.
