In re Joselyn A. CA2/3
Mother Vanessa A. appeals the order terminating her parental rights under Welfare & Institutions Code section 366.26. Before a court may terminate parental rights, it must find by clear and convincing evidence that the child is likely to be adopted within a reasonable time. (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1).) A court may find that a child is “generally adoptable” (meaning her age and other factors do not make it difficult to find an adoptive parent) or “specifically adoptable” (meaning a willing adoptive family has already been found and no legal impediment to adoption exists). In this case, the court did not indicate whether it found Joselyn generally or specifically adoptable before it terminated mother’s parental rights.
