In re O.R. CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, L.C. (Mother), is the mother of O.R., a child born in April 2013. Objectors and appellants, K.R. and T.R. (born in 2010), are Mother’s older children and O.R.’s half siblings. Mother, K.R., and T.R. appeal from the August 16, 2018, order terminating parental rights to O.R.
Mother claims the Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 order must be reversed because the juvenile court and plaintiff and respondent, San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS), failed to give adequate notice of the proceedings pursuant to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) and related California law (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 224.2, 224.3). T.R. and K.R. join this claim, and CFS and we agree it has merit. The ICWA notices did not include known identifying information concerning O.R.’s maternal great-grandmother (the MGGM), including her names, approximate dates of birth and death, and a partial address.
