Description
These appeals by a child and a foster parent from an order denying a petition to declare a child free from parental custody and control raise the issue of apparent first impression of the extent of the childs constitutional and statutory right to independent counsel in the proceeding. It concerns, also, issues of: (1) the authority of a commissioner to hear the matter in the absence of a stipulation on behalf of the child; (2) the sufficiency of evidence to support a trial court conclusion that the child was not abandoned by her natural mother within the meaning of Civil Code section 232, subdivision (a)(1); (3) the propriety of trial court action limiting its consideration to the abandonment provisions of Civil Code section 232 to the exclusion of subdivision (a)(7) of that section; (4) whether the trial court complied with Civil Code section 232.5 by considering the best interests of the child in making its order; and (5) whether the trial court improperly failed to consider the wishes of a child four years of age in reaching its conclusion.
