Adoption of M.M. CA2/8
This case concerns the adoption of M.M., a child conceived in China by Chinese nationals, but born in the United States. Newborn M.M. was relinquished by mother D.M. to Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services (the adoption agency) so he could be adopted by John and Marie Ann B. The trial court ordered that alleged biological father H.Q. was not required to receive notice of the proceedings or give consent to the adoption, after finding that his whereabouts were unknown. Mother and H.Q. moved to set aside this order, but their motion was denied. Multiple notices of appeal have been filed concerning the order terminating H.Q.’s parental rights (case No. B287861), and the order denying the parents’ request for a change of court order (case No. B288756). The parents, as well as mother’s ex-husband K.Y., have also petitioned for habeas relief (case No. B288881).
