In re D.M. CA4/2
D.M. and M.M. (the twins), are twin siblings who were placed in the foster home of M.G. and A.A. shortly after birth in 2014. About a year later, their 10 year-old half-sister J.P. was placed in the same home. When their parents failed to reunify, parental rights of the twins were terminated, and a permanent plan of adoption by the foster parents was ordered. After being told by the San Bernardino Children and Family Services (CFS) that the now 11 year-old J.P. could not share a room with her two-year-old siblings, and J.P.’s reports that the foster parents were spanking the twins and neglecting her, the foster parents gave a seven-day notice to have J.P. removed from their home. Concluding it was in the twins’ best interests to remain with their older sister, all three children were removed from the home. The foster parents objected to the removal of D.M. and M.M. only, but, after a contested hearing, the court approved the removal of the twins. M.G. appealed.
