In re L.H.
D.C. (mother) appeals from juvenile court orders denying her petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 388[1] and terminating her parental rights to her daughter, L.H. Mother contends the juvenile court violated her due process right to an evidentiary hearing on her section 388 petition. She also argues the juvenile court erred in rejecting the beneficial parental relationship exception to adoption under section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i).
We conclude mother forfeited her objection to the hearing on her section 388 petition. Even if she did not forfeit her objection, it lacks merit. Mother's due process rights were not violated since she was afforded a full and fair hearing on her petition. We also conclude the trial court did not err in rejecting the beneficial parental relationship exception to adoption. We affirm the judgment.
