Both parents contend the juvenile court erred (1) in denying their section 388 petition seeking return of the children to their custody or, in the alternative, placement with Grandmother; (2) in finding that the beneficial parent-child relationship exception to adoption did not apply; and (3) in finding that the sibling relationship exception to adoption did not apply. Grandmother also challenges the juvenile courts denial of her section 388 petition and claims that she was denied her due process rights to confront and cross-examine witnesses at the hearing on her petition.
