In re T.K.
Tanya K. (hereafter mother) appeals an order terminating her parental rights to her son, T.K., and placing the child for adoption. She contends that, in light of several failings by San Bernardino County Children and Family Services (CFS), there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s finding that T.K. is generally adoptable. She contends that it is not sufficient to find that the child is likely to be adopted by his foster parents, because, if that adoption falls through, T.K. may become a legal orphan because his late-discovered developmental delays and the sudden onset of emotional problems render him not generally adoptable.
We conclude that substantial evidence supports the finding that it is likely that T.K. will be adopted by his foster parents within a reasonable time. Moreover, even if that adoption falls through and no other adoptive parent can be found, parental rights can be reinstated. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26, subd. (i)(3).)[1] Accordingly, any error in the juvenile court’s finding that T.K. is generally adoptable does not require reversal of the order appealed from.
