2014PARENT-CHILD BOND Mother contends the juvenile court erred by terminating her parental rights because the court should have applied the parent-child bond exception to termination. (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i).) If a juvenile court finds a dependent child is adoptable, then it will terminate parental rights unless one of the statutorily enumerated exceptions is applicable. (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1).) One of the enumerated exceptions provides that parental rights shall not be terminated if “[t]he parents have maintained regular visitation and co ntact 31 with the child and the child would benefit

2014(In re Angel B. (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 454, 468 .) We review the juvenile court’s decision to not apply the parent-child bond exception for an abuse of discretion.7 (Aaliyah R., at p. 449.) The record reflects Mother regularly visited the three children, although sometimes she was late due to unreliable transportation.

2015Termination of parental rights was inevitable because C.P. was going to be adopted, the parent-child bond exception did not apply and the child would not be “greatly harmed” if parental rights were terminated. (§ 366.26, subd. (c)(1)(B)(i); In re Brittany C. (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 847, 853-854 .) Indeed, it is not clear that C.P. knows who Father is.

2013(In re S.B. (2008) 164 Cal.App.4th 289 , 297.) In In re S.B. the appellate court concluded a parent did not need to prove the child had a “‘primary attachment’ to the parent”; rather, it was sufficient to show “the child has a ‘substantial, positive emotional attachment’ to the parent.” (Id. at p. 299.) Father’s argument is not persuasive because, in a more recent opinion, the Fourth District, Division One Court has changed its position on the parent-child bond exception.
