In re M.M.
Mother and father appeal from an order terminating their parental rights to their son M.M. (born in 2002) under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. Father contends in his appeal that the order terminating parental rights should be reversed because M.M. was not generally adoptable and, at the time of the section 366.26 hearing (.26 hearing), it was not likely he would be adopted in the foreseeable future. Father also argues the trial court erred in relieving his trial counsel at the end of the .26 hearing in the absence of fathers consent or a noticed motion.
Mother joins in fathers contentions and further argues in her separate appeal that the order terminating parental rights should be reversed because the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) failed to prove M.M. was adoptable. Father joins in mothers arguments on appeal.
Court conclude there was substantial evidence establishing that M.M. was adoptable. We further conclude dismissal of fathers attorney after the juvenile court terminated parental rights does not constitute reversible error. Court thus affirm the judgment.
