In re J.K. CA4/2
C.P. (Mother) has a history with abusing drugs, issues with domestic violence, and an extensive history with Child Protective Services, resulting in the removal of her three children. Mother appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26. On appeal, Mother argues: (1) the juvenile court erred in finding the children were adoptable; (2) the court erred in failing to find statutory exceptions to termination of parental rights; (3) the court abused its discretion by ordering adoption as the permanent plan rather than legal guardianship; (4) the court abused its discretion in failing to grant a continuance to allow the paternal grandmother time to retain counsel to file a guardianship petition; (5) her appointed appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to recognize any of the aforementioned grounds for appeal. For the reasons explained below, we reject Mother’s contentions and affirm the judgment.
