In In re Harry N. (2001) 93 Cal.App.4th 1378, both the foster family and the blood relatives of the child sought to adopt him. After the local child services agency ordered placement with the relatives, the foster family appealed, an appeal which took eighteen months to resolve--at the end of which time the child was removed from the foster family and placed with the relatives. The length of the appeals process in that case served no one's interest, least of all that of the child, who was denied the security of permanent placement for over a year." (Assem.
