In re M.L. CA4/2
A.L. (mother) appeals from orders terminating her parental rights to her daughters M.L. and A.M. Although she phrases her arguments differently in her briefs, boiled down to their essence, mother’s claims fall into three categories: (1) the social service agency’s preliminary assessment of A.M.’s adoptability and of the prospective adoptive mother’s suitability did not comply with the pertinent statutory requirements; (2) A.M. was not generally adoptable, and the record does not contain substantial evidence to support a finding that she was specifically adoptable; and (3) the juvenile court erred by not considering the sibling relationship exception before terminating mother’s parental rights.
We conclude mother forfeited her challenges to the assessment report by not objecting to its adequacy in the juvenile court.
