INTRODUCTION
Joy G. (Mother), mother of minors Z.B. and L.B., appeals from the juvenile court’s findings and orders terminating her parental rights. Mother’s sole asserted basis for reversal is that the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (the Department) failed to ask extended maternal family members whether Z.B. or L.B. is an “Indian child” within the meaning of Section 1903 of the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. Sec. 1901 et seq.) (ICWA), as required by section 224.2, subdivision (b), of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
