Adoption of J.T.
Justin W. appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to hisbiological son J.T. (the minor) after the minor’s mother placed him with relatives for adoption and Justin failed to timely file an action to establish the existence of a parent-child relationship. (Fam. Code, §§ 7662, 7667.)[1] We reject his challenges to the procedure used to terminate his parental rights and the court’s jurisdiction over him as the resident of another state. We also conclude the court did not commit prejudicial error in determining the minor was not an Indian child for purposes of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA; 25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.).
