In re J.D.
Jesse D. and Kelly D. appeal from orders terminating their parental rights to their children, J.D. and C.D., and freeing the children for adoption by the maternal grandparents. Both parents argue that the juvenile court denied them due process when it refused to permit live testimony in connection with their petitions for modification. (Welf. & Inst. Code, 388.)[1] Father also contends that the court denied him due process when it refused to allow him to call five year old C.D. as a witness at the selection and implementation hearing, in support of fathers argument that the beneficial parental relationship exception applied. ( 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i).) The parents join in each others arguments. The orders terminating parental rights and freeing J.D. and C.D. for adoption are affirmed.
