In re J.A. CA5
C.A. (mother) appeals the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights as to her children, then 12-year-old J.A. and then two-year-old A.A. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26). Mother contends the Kings County Human Services Agency (agency) failed to comply with inquiry provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA; 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) The agency concedes there were inadvertent omissions in the ICWA inquiry and notice that it intends to remedy and does not oppose remand for the limited purpose of ensuring proper compliance with ICWA. We agree with the parties and conditionally reverse the juvenile court’s order terminating parental rights and remand for proceedings to ensure ICWA compliance.
