California Court of Appeal

In a mother's appeal of the juvenile court's order terminating her parental rights, Welf. & Inst. Code sections 366.26 and 395, alleging that substantial evidence does not support the juvenile court’s finding that there was good cause to deviate from the adoption placement preferences of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. section 1901 et seq., the appeal is dismissed where the mother lacks standing to challenge the placement order.
