Matter of R.b., Yinc

Summary

The Court affirmed the guardianship decree because the Department made sufficient active efforts to reunify the father with his children, including providing services, transportation, treatment referrals, housing assistance, visitation, and culturally responsive support. The Court also held that further reunification efforts would likely be unproductive and that placement with the guardian was in the children's best interests because the father had not demonstrated sustained behavioral change or an ability to safely parent. No separate opinions were filed.
