In re K.T.
L.T., Sr. appeals from orders terminating his parental rights (Welf. & Inst. Code, 366.26) to his six year old daughter and five year old son.[1] At the section 366.26 hearing, the attorneys for the parents and the children disputed the likelihood that the six year old would be adopted, based on her age and by challenging the suitability of her prospective adoptive parents. Counsel also urged termination would be detrimental to the children based on their sibling relationship. The superior court was not persuaded. It found each child was generally adoptable and therefore rejected any bid to evaluate the suitability of the older childs prospective adoptive parents. It also determined the sibling relationship exception to adoption did not apply. ( 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(E).)
On appeal, appellant contends there was no clear and convincing evidence of his daughters adoptability and in any event the court should have found termination would be detrimental to the children based on their sibling relationship. He also joins in arguments raised in the childrens separate appeal. On review, Court disagree and affirm.
