In re T.W.
Appellants C.C. (Mother) and D.W. (Father) are the parents of a girl (Daughter), born in March 2000, and a boy (Son), born in April 2005. The parents appeal the juvenile courts orders terminating parental rights and placing the children for adoption. (Welf & Inst. Code, 366.26.) Mother also appeals the courts denial of her petition to modify a previous order terminating her reunification services and limiting her visits with the children to once per month, supervised. ( 388.)
Mother claims the juvenile court erred in summarily denying her section 388 petition, and that insufficient evidence supports the courts finding that the parental benefit exception to the adoption preference did not apply to her relationships with the children. ( 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(A).) Mother also joins Fathers claims to the extent they may benefit her. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.200(a)(5).)
Father claims the juvenile court was without jurisdiction to terminate parental rights because insufficient notice of the proceedings was given under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). (25 U.S.C.A. 1911 et seq.) Father also claims that insufficient evidence supports the courts finding that the parental benefit exception did not apply to his relationships with the children. ( 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(A).) The February 14, 2007, orders denying Mothers section 388 petition, terminating parental rights, and placing Son and Daughter for adoption are affirmed.
