In re K.F.
Mother challenges the juvenile court's order terminating her parental rights to her son, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. Appellant contends reversal of the order is required due to noncompliance by the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and/or failure of the juvenile court to apply the "benefit exception to adoption"? set forth in subdivision (c)(1)(A) of section 366.26. While court find no merit to mother's latter argument, the court agrees that remand is necessary to ascertain whether minor is an Indian child for purposes of the ICWA.
