In re J.H. CA3
Mother J.B. (mother) of minor J.H. appeals from the juvenile court’s orders terminating parental rights and freeing the minor for adoption. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.) Mother contends conditional reversal is required because the Tehama County Department of Social Services (Department) and the juvenile court failed to comply with the inquiry and notice requirements under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.); she adds that the court erred in terminating parental rights without a proper ICWA finding.
We agree the matter must be remanded for ICWA compliance; we conditionally affirm the juvenile court’s orders terminating parental rights subject to ICWA compliance on remand.
