In re J.R., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.	2d Juv. No. B240140 (Super. Ct. No. J068148) (Ventura County)
VENTURA COUNTY PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. J.M., Defendant and Appellant.

J.M. appeals from the
order entered March 21, 2012,
terminating her parental rights to her
biological daughter, J.R., pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code section
366.26. We appointed href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">counsel to represent her on appeal.

On May 18,2 012, counsel
filed a brief in which no arguable issues
were raised. On May 21, 2012, we notified appellant that she had
30 days within which to submit any contentions that she wished us to consider,
and that the appeal would be dismissed in the absence of any arguable
issues. (In re Phoenix H. (2009) 47 Cal.4th 835; In re Sade C. (1996) 13 Cal.4th 952.)

J.M. responded with a
letter that describes her love for her biological child and her struggle to
attain sobriety. We do not doubt
appellant's sincerity, but her love for her child and her desire to remain
clean and sober are not sufficient reasons to reverse the juvenile court's
order. (See, e.g., In re Beatrice M. (1994) 29 Cal.4th 1411; In re Bailey J. (2010) 189 Cal.App.4th 1308.) Our review of the record discloses that the
juvenile court's findings of fact are supported by href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">substantial evidence and that it
properly exercised its discretion in terminating appellant's parental rights
and selecting adoption as the permanent plan for J.R. (In re
Bailey J., supra, 189 Cal.App.4th at p. 1314.)

The order is affirmed.
