BLEASE, Acting P.J.
S.B., the adoptive mother of G.B. and M.B., appeals from a judgment declaring that her former same-sex partner S.Y.FN1 is a presumed parent of the children under Family Code section 7611, subdivision (d) (hereafter 7611(d)).FN2 S.B. contends the trial court erred in finding S.Y. is a presumed parent because she never ¡°actually received the children into her own home¡± or ¡°openly held the children out as her own natural children,¡± as required under section 7611(d). She also asserts that the trial court abused its discretion in concluding this was not an appropriate action in which to rebut the parentage presumption (¡× 7612, subd. (a)), and that recognizing S.Y. as a parent violated S.B.'s right to substantive due process by interfering with her interest in the care, custody, and management of her children.
