As evidence established mother and Cs living in CA at commencement of dependency proceeding, NE was not their "home state" under UCCJEA and CA court had subject matter jurisdiction to terminate her parental rights.

Mother whose children placed with grandfather in Mexico did not show that foreign placements of dependent children is contrary to the interests of juvenile dependency law.
