In re T.D. CA4/2
B.D. (father) appeals from an order terminating his parental rights to his son, T.D., contending the record does not contain substantial evidence to support the juvenile court’s finding that T.D. will likely be adopted by his prospective adoptive parents within a reasonable amount of time. According to father, the prospective adoptive parents were not screened for criminal records and prior referrals for child abuse or neglect, and there is no evidence the prospective adoptive parents are capable of caring for T.D., who is developmentally delayed and suffers from various physical ailments. Father did not object to the adequacy of the social worker’s preliminary assessment report or argue potential legal impediments to adoption precluded a finding of adoptability, so father forfeited those claims on appeal. We conclude there is substantial evidence to support the juvenile court’s finding of adoptability and, therefore, we affirm the order.
