In re J.B. CA5
Appellant C.B. (mother) appeals the juvenile court’s orders denying her modification petition (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 388) (section 388 petition) and terminating her parental rights as to her now one-year-old son, J.B. (§ 366.26). By her section 388 petition, mother sought to vacate the court’s order denying her reunification services and establish grounds for an order granting her custody, custody with family maintenance services or family reunification services. On appeal, she contends she met her burden of showing her circumstances had changed such that reunification served J.B.’s best interest. Mother further contends the Fresno County Department of Social Services (department) failed to comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) because it did not inquire of John R., J.B.’s father, whether he had Native American heritage.
