California Court of Appeal March 14, 2000, No. A086822 (Alameda County Social Services Agency v. Tammy D.)

Opinion

PARRILLI, J.

Here we consider an issue that often arises when a juvenile dependency proceeding reaches the stage at which a permanent plan must be selected for an adoptable child. If a parent has maintained a good relationship with the child through visitation, is that a reason to select a plan less permanent than adoption?
