In In re Zimmerman (1962) 206 Cal. App. 2d 835, the court explained:"... Wardship proceedings obviously involve the determination of the custody of the subject child from time to time during the necessary jurisdictional period and under the supervision of officers of the juvenile court. Such proceedings affect parental control, do not in all instances necessarily preclude it and do not in any way sever or bring to an end the natural relationship subsisting between parent and child. It may be said that such proceedings do not contemplate absolute finality of decision, since they contemplate various orders and modifications of them as dictated by the child's best interests. "The proceedings to declare a child free from parental control do not involve problems of custody or juvenile court supervision of the subject child. They contemplate the conclusion of such custody problems and not only termination of all parental control but the severance of the relationship between the child and its parent or parents. The finality of such proceedings is expressed in the statute. These proceedings are utilized to facilitate the adoption of the minor child: 'The proceeding ... is distinct in nature and purpose from the proceeding to declare a minor child a ward of the court. It deals with a neglected rather than a delinquent child; it is not designed to affect actual custody because the parents in nearly all cases have either abandoned the child or have been deprived of its custody; and it does not contemplate custody or care by Juvenile Court officers, but rather seeks to pave the way for adoption or other normal custody arrangements by eliminating the rights of the erring parents.
