In re K.P. CA3
Ka.P. (mother) and T.S. (father) appeal from the juvenile court’s orders terminating their parental rights and ordering a permanent plan of adoption for the minor, K.P. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 366.26.) Mother contends: (1) her claims arising from the jurisdiction and disposition proceedings are cognizable on appeal because the juvenile court failed to provide the writ advisement required by section 366.26, subdivision (l); (2) the juvenile court erred in failing to serve notice of the jurisdictional hearing upon mother by personal service or certified mail in compliance with section 291, subdivision (e)(1); and (3) despite her counsel’s failure to object to the inadequate notice, her claim is not forfeited or, in the alternative, her counsel was ineffective. The Glenn County Health and Human Services Agency (Agency) concedes that the notice was improperly served, but contends the error was harmless and counsel was not ineffective in failing to object.
