Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Phillip J. Tabor, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Vogel, P.J., and Vaitheswaran and McDonald, JJ. Tabor, J., takes no part. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, J. (5 pages).
A mother and father appeal the termination of their parental rights to their children. OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence supports termination, the department did not violate its reasonable-efforts mandate, termination was in the children’s best interests, and an extension of time was not warranted. We affirm the termination of the parents’ rights to their children.
