In re D.A.
Father A.A. appeals from the termination of his parental rights as to four of his eight children who were subjects of this dependency proceeding. He argues the juvenile court erred by failing to comply with Welfare and Institutions Code section 349, subdivision (d)[1]which requires the juvenile court to inquire whether a minor was notified of dependency hearings, wished to be present, and was given an opportunity to attend. While the issue was forfeited by failure to object, we conclude there was no violation in any event because separate counsel for the minor waived his appearance at the relevant hearings. Father also challenges the courts finding that the children were adoptable. Court find substantial evidence to support that finding.
