In re C.M. CA2/1
This dependency case began when the twins C.M. and J.M. were born drug exposed. Several placements were unsuccessful, and family maintenance services were impeded by the mother’s desultory drug rehabilitation and the father’s incarceration, and were interrupted for a year when the parents absconded with the children to Arizona. Upon resumption, the juvenile court many times denied requests from all sides to remove the children from a successful placement with adoptive foster caregivers and place them with the maternal grandfather and his wife. In two appeals, which we consolidate for purposes of oral argument and decision, the parents contend the court abused its discretion by failing even to consider placing the children with the maternal grandfather and his wife.
