In re C.P.
Annotate this CaseAppellants were the maternal grandparents of the dependent child C.P. At a permanency hearing under Welfare and Institutions Code section 366.26, the juvenile court ordered a legal guardianship for the child and appointed grandparents as his guardians. Grandparents contended the court should have instead selected adoption as the child’s permanent plan and designated them as the child’s prospective adoptive parents. The Court of Appeal agreed with grandparents and therefore reversed the order of legal guardianship. The Court directed the juvenile court to reconsider the matter given this opinion and any changed circumstances.
