In re A.A.
M.L. (mother) is the mother of A.A., born in November 2005. Mother argues the juvenile court erred when it terminated her parental rights and freed A.A. for adoption by her foster parents at a hearing held on January 5, 2012, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26.[1] Specifically, mother argues the juvenile court should have declined to terminate her parental rights under the parental benefit exception to the preference for adoption, found at section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i). As discussed below, we conclude that, even if mother did not waive this argument by failing to raise it below, it has no merit. Thus, we affirm the juvenile court’s orders terminating mother’s parental rights and freeing A.A. for adoption.
