In re D.P. CA2/6
D.G. (mother) appeals the juvenile court’s order terminating parental rights to her infant son, D.P. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.) She contends Santa Barbara County Child Welfare Services (CWS) and the court failed to conduct a reasonable inquiry into mother’s possible Indian ancestry, as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) We agree. Accordingly, we conditionally reverse the order and remand the matter to allow CWS and the court to fully comply with ICWA and related California law.
