In re T.S. CA2/3
T.S. (mother) appeals from juvenile court orders terminating parental rights to her children under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. On appeal, mother’s sole contention is that the juvenile court erred by finding that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) adequately investigated the children’s possible Indian ancestry, as required by the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) and related state statutes. DCFS concedes its inquiry was inadequate as to father but maintains it was adequate as to mother. We conditionally affirm the orders and remand for compliance with ICWA as to mother and father.
