In re A.M.
W.M. (appellant), the mother of A.M. (the minor), appeals from the juvenile courts order terminating appellants parental rights. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26, 395; further section references are to this code unless otherwise specified.) She contends that the court erred in failing to apply a statutory exception to termination of parental rights ( 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(A)) and that the court and the Human Services Agency (HSA) violated the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA). (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) Agreeing with the latter claim only, Court conditionally vacate the order terminating parental rights and remand the matter for inquiry into possible Indian heritage and notice to the relevant tribal entities if necessary.
