The children's aid society sought an order placing a 16-month-old child in extended society care for the purpose of adoption.
The parents sought the return of the child subject to society supervision.
The court found that the parents' unaddressed mental health issues, history of child welfare involvement, and relationship instability posed too great a risk to the child's safety and well-being.
The court ordered the child placed in extended society care.
Applying the expanded access test under the CYFSA, the court found that an access order was in the child's best interests as the relationship was beneficial and there was no evidence it would impair future adoption opportunities.
Access was granted at the society's discretion, with a minimum of once per month.
