In re A.L.
Defendants and appellants A.L. and S.L. are the parents (individually Mother and Father) of twins A. and S., a girl and boy, and their younger sister D. The parents appeal from the July 11, 2012, order of the juvenile court terminating parental rights and placing the children for adoption. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.)[1]
Mother claims the juvenile court abused its discretion in denying her section 388 petition seeking the return of the children to her care pursuant to a family maintenance plan or for additional reunification services. Father joins this claim. Both parents claim that the court erroneously refused to apply the parental benefit exception to the adoption preference (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i)), and on that basis select guardianship over adoption as the children’s permanent plan. We find no error and affirm.
