In re Cristian O.
Maria O. and G.S. (together, the parents) appeal a juvenile court judgment terminating their parental rights to their minor children Cristian O., Ricardo O. and G.O. (collectively, the minors) under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] The parents contend: (1) the court erred by finding the minors were adoptable; (2) the beneficial parent-child relationship and beneficial sibling relationship exceptions to adoption applied to preclude terminating parental rights; and (3) the court could not terminate parental rights because 13-year-old Cristian objected to being adopted by anyone other than a relative. Court conclude no substantial evidence supports the court's finding the minors are adoptable. Accordingly, Court reverse the judgment.
