California Court of Appeal

Juvenile court's order issued after a 12-month permanency hearing, placing a nonminor dependent in a planned permanent living arrangement and terminating reunification services with the mother is affirmed where: 1) the dependent child in this case did not meet the definition of a nonminor dependent and even though she had turned 18, and as such, the juvenile court did not err in holding the 12-month permanency review hearing; and 2) the statutory framework does not allow a parent to reunify with a dependent child who has turned 18 because a parent cannot have physical custody of an adult.
