In re Jayleen C. CA2/7
Jacqueline C. (Mother) appeals from the orders terminating her parental rights to four-year-old Jayleen C. and three-year-old Addilyn C. under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. Mother’s sole contention on appeal is that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (the Department) and the juvenile court failed to comply with the inquiry and notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.; ICWA) and related California law.
The juvenile court found ICWA did not apply as to either Mother or Father (Carlos A.) based on Mother’s and Father’s denials of Indian ancestry.
