In In re Jodi B. (1991) 227 Cal. App. 3d 1322, the court was similarly called upon to decide the meaning of the term "parent," which is used without definition in the Welfare and Institutions Code. Examining the definition of the term in other codes, the court noted that "these sections illustrate the Legislature's practice of specifying the intended meaning of 'parent' and 'child' when it wishes to enlarge or restrict the ordinary meaning of those terms." ( Id. at pp. 1327-1328.) Accordingly, the court found that the ordinary definition of "parent" applied, and that "If the Legislature had intended to include stepparents in the class of persons denoted as parents for reunification purposes, it would have said so." ( Id. at p. 1328.)
