In re M.B. CA3
J.B. (mother) and H.B. (father) appeal from the juvenile court’s orders terminating their parental rights and ordering a permanent plan of adoption for minors M.B., T.B., and Ja.B. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.) Mother’s sole contention on appeal is that the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (Department) and the juvenile court failed to comply with the inquiry and notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) because the Department did not adequately inquire into information that the minors may have Cherokee heritage. (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.; § 224.2.) Father joins in mother’s arguments.
We will conditionally reverse and remand the matter for limited proceedings to ensure ICWA compliance.
