In re D.H. CA1/4
Two parents whose parental rights were terminated prior to the Supreme Court’s recent decision in In re Caden C. (2021) 11 Cal.5th 614 (Caden C.) contend that the dependency court failed to consider the beneficial relationship exception to the statutory preference for adoption in the manner required by Caden C. Although we have found it necessary to remand other cases for reconsideration in light of Caden C., the child in this case was removed from the care of her biological parents within days of her birth, so that she had little opportunity to develop a meaningful bond with them. In determining that the infant’s interest in permanency and stability outweighed any benefit of retaining a relationship with her birth parents, the court considered the appropriate factors and none proscribed by Caden C. Therefore, remand is unnecessary, and the termination order must be affirmed.
