In re Interest of Joseph C.
Annotate this Case
Tina E., the biological aunt and adoptive sister of the father of Joseph C., lacked standing to appeal the juvenile court’s order ruling that Joseph’s placement with his nonrelative foster parents and permanency through adoption by them was in his best interests.
On appeal, Tina argued that the juvenile court erred in changing the permanency objective from reunification with her to adoption by the foster parents and in failing to change Joseph’s placement from the foster parents to Tina. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that Tina was not entitled to the statutory right to appeal delineated in Neb. Rev. Stat. 43-2,106.01(2).
