In In re Baby Girl D. (1989) 208 Cal. App. 3d 1489, the minor was born in mid-December 1985 and declared a dependent of the court on January 3, 1986. ( Id. at p. 1492.) She was transferred to a "foster-adoptive home" on March 9, 1986, at approximately three months of age. (Ibid.) A permanency planning hearing was held more than a year later on May 1, 1987. ( Ibid.) At that hearing, the minor's maternal great-aunt and uncle appeared for the first time and formally requested that she be placed with them. (Ibid.) Although the court ordered their home evaluated and the social worker found their home was a suitable environment for the minor, the court accepted the recommendation that she not be placed there, since she had bonded with her foster parents. ( Id. at pp. 1492-1493.) The court noted that the relatives could have come forward at several points earlier in the dependency process, and their failure to seek placement of the child earlier precluded an attack on the juvenile court's order that the child remain with the foster parents. "By the time they became involved in the case the focus of the court was on establishing a permanent plan for the child. The minor was 17 months old and 'firmly bonded' to her foster-adoptive parents . . . ." ( Id. at p. 1494.)
