Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Rachael E. Seymour, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Mullins and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals, challenging the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights to a one-year-old child. She contends the State did not prove the statutory grounds for termination and termination is not in the child’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: After independently reviewing the record, we find clear and convincing evidence to support termination of the mother’s parental rights. We further find termination of parental rights to be in the child’s best interests.
