In re J.B. CA3
Mother of the minors, J.B. and I.B., appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights and adopting a permanent plan of adoption. Mother contends the court erred in failing to apply the beneficial parental relationship exception to adoption. Mother further contends the court improperly received and considered evidence and denied her the opportunity to fully address that evidence, and any failure to object was the result of ineffective assistance of her counsel.
We conclude the juvenile court did not err in finding the beneficial parental relationship exception did not apply. As to the second contention, we conclude the juvenile court properly considered all the evidence and did not deny mother’s counsel the opportunity to address the evidence. Finally, her claim of ineffective assistance of counsel fails because she has not demonstrated prejudice from any failure to object. The juvenile court’s orders are affirmed.
