T.M. v. Super. Ct
T.M., the mother of baby girl Z.M., petitions under California Rules of Court, rule 8.452 to vacate the trial courts order setting a hearing under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26[1]to consider termination of her parental rights. Mother contends the evidence fails to support either (1) the courts finding that reasonable reunification services were provided to her, or (2) denial of her request that Z.M. be placed with the childs maternal grandmother. Our careful review of the record leads us to conclude that Mothers contentions are unsubstantiated. Mother was offered, but did not avail herself, of reunification services that were tailored to her cognitive and mental health needs. There was substantial evidence supporting the courts decision to place Z.M. with someone other than her maternal grandmother. The petition is denied on the merits.
