In re A.R. CA3
Appellant W. R., mother of the minor, appeals from the juvenile court’s orders terminating parental rights and freeing the minor for adoption. (Welf. & Inst. Code, §§ 366.26, 395.) Appellant argues that the orders must be reversed and remanded because the Sacramento County Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (Department) did not comply with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.). The Department conceded the ICWA error and the need for a limited remand for ICWA compliance. We agree.
The ICWA protects the interests of Indian children and promotes the stability and security of Indian tribes by establishing minimum standards for, and permitting tribal participation in, dependency actions.
