In re T.G.
R.R. (mother) appeals from orders of the juvenile court terminating parental rights to her son J.R. and her daughter T.G. and selecting adoption as the permanent plan for both children. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26.)[1] On appeal, mother claims that the orders must be reversed because the court did not comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act. (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq., 224 et seq., hereafter ICWA.) Mother also argues that the court erred in terminating her parental rights to T.G. because the order will result in T.G.s losing her relationship with her full brother R.G. We conclude that the court erred in failing to comply with the ICWA in a timely manner but that the errors do not warrant reversal. We further conclude that the evidence supports the courts implied finding that the benefits of adoption outweighed the risk that T.G.s relationship with R.G. could be lost. Accordingly, court affirm the orders.
