Mother petitions for reconsideration of our disposition in this case, which stated, “Dispositional/permanency judgment as to father reversed and remanded; otherwise affirmed.” Dept. of Human Services v. D. L. H.,
Following a permanency hearing, the court’s order must include a “determination of the permanency plan for the ward.” ORS 419B.476(5)(b). “Permanency plan,” as used in ORS 419B.476, specifically refers to a singular plan for the child, rather than a plan for each parent. See also OAR 413-040-0005(14) (defining a permanency plan as “a written course of action for achieving safe and lasting family resources for the child,” suggesting one active permanency plan at a time); ORS 419B.343(2)(b) (when the case plan is reunification, DHS shall include a concurrent permanency plan “to be implemented” if the parent does not make the changes necessary for the child to return home safely within a reasonable time). Accordingly, we allow the petition and modify the disposition so that the dispositional/permanency judgment changing the permanency plan for A to adoption is reversed and remanded.
Reconsideration allowed; former disposition withdrawn; dispositional/permanency judgment as to A (Case No. J060417) reversed and remanded; otherwise affirmed.
