In re S.F.
Appellant M. C. (mother) is the mother of S.F. (child), who was nine years old at the time mother filed this appeal. Mother challenges the juvenile courts visitation orders issued April 9 and May 7, 2009, which included the provision that S.F. not be forced to visit with mother. Specifically, mother argues the juvenile court impermissibly delegated its authority over visitation to the child when it allowed the child to refuse visits with mother, thus violating mothers due process right to litigate to establish the parent-child benefit exception to adoption at the later Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing held on September 15, 2009. As discussed below, we conclude that mother waived her right to appeal the issue by failing to timely raise the issue by appeal or in a petition for extraordinary writ.
