In re Aurora L. CA4/3
Aurora L., born in early October 2017, tested positive for both methamphetamine and morphine. During the initial six-month reunification period, her father, Andrew L. missed 51 of 51 random drug tests and relapsed into heroin use. Then he became homeless. Even so, the juvenile dependency court did not terminate reunification services, but ordered the existing reunification plan continued for another six months, optimistically projecting Andrew’s reunification with Aurora by November 2018. In the process, the court made a formal finding that Andrew had been offered reasonable reunification services. Despite the absence of any immediate adverse consequences flowing from the finding at the six-month review that reasonable services had been offered, Andrew now appeals the order.
