POOLE, Circuit Judge.

Jean and Richard Gibson and their adopted daughter Susan appeal the summary judgment granted against them on their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against the Merced County Department of Human Resources (the Department). The Gibsons allege that the Department's removal of Susan from their home while she was their foster child violated Susan's and their constitutionally protected liberty interests and their procedural due process rights.
