In re A.B. CA1/4
C.B. (Father) appeals an order terminating his parental rights to A.B. (Minor) at a Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26 hearing (.26 hearing). Minor is now age six. At the .26 hearing, the dependency court terminated both parents’ parental rights and chose adoption as Minor’s permanent plan.
Only Father appeals. The sole issue is whether the court erred in finding that Father failed to prove the applicability of the parental beneficial relationship exception under section 366.26, subdivision (c)(1)(B)(i). Both parties to this appeal, the Alameda County Social Services Agency (Agency) and Father, rely upon the Supreme Court’s recent opinion in In re Caden C. (2021) 11 Cal.5th 614 (Caden C.), which was filed just before the court held the .26 hearing.
