In re J.C.
Mother appeals from an order terminating parental rights to her two sons, G.C. (born in 2006) and J.C. (born in 2008). Mother contends the juvenile court erred in rejecting the beneficial parent relationship exception to adoption under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i).[1] Mother also asserts that the juvenile court violated her substantive due process rights and right to equal protection by refusing to allow her sons to visit her while locally incarcerated. Mother further contends she was deprived of competent representation because her trial attorney did not request in-custody visitation or object to the custody orders.[2] Without filing a separate appellate brief, father joins in and adopts mother’s contentions on appeal to the extent mother’s arguments benefit his interests. We reject mother’s contentions and father’s joinder, and affirm the judgment.
