In re Delilah R.
The juvenile court took jurisdiction over appellant John R.'s children, three year old Delilah and one year old I., removed them from his custody and placed them in foster care. John challenges the court's decision to take jurisdiction over the children, and he contests the adequacy of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) notices sent by the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children's Services (the Department). Court conclude that the juvenile court's jurisdictional decision is supported by substantial evidence and that remand for corrected notices to be sent to the correct tribal agents at the correct addresses is not necessary because the Department did not know the identities of the tribes and properly notified the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Court affirm the juvenile court's orders.
