In re SCOTT B
In this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300 et seq.), Dolly B., the mother of the minor child Scott. B. (Mother and Scott, respectively), appeals from a section 366.26 order that terminated her parental rights. At issue in the appeal is the applicability of a statutory exception to termination of parental rights the parent-child relationship exception. (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i).) Mother contends the exception applies to her relationship with Scott and therefore the dependency court committed reversible error when it chose adoption as a permanent plan for Scott and terminated her parental rights. She contends the trial court should have identified legal guardianship as the appropriate permanent plan for the minor child. Our review of the record convinces us that Mother's position is well taken. Court will therefore reverse the order that identified adoption as Scott's permanent plan and terminated Mother's parental rights.
