In re G.O. CA4/13
V.V. (Mother) appeals from an order of the juvenile court terminating her parental rights with respect to minor child, G.O. Mother asserts that the juvenile court and the San Diego County Health and Human Service Agency (the Agency) failed to comply with the requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA, 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) by failing to adequately inquire as to whether G.O.’s biological father has any Indian ancestry. We agree that the juvenile court and the Agency did not conduct adequate inquiry. We therefore conditionally reverse the order and remand the matter for the limited purpose of compliance with ICWA.
