Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Colin J. Witt, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Potterfield and Tabor, JJ. Opinion by Vaitheswaran, P.J. (5 pages)
The parents of two minor children separately appeal the termination of their parental rights, arguing the State failed to prove the grounds for removal cited by the district court and termination was not in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we affirm the district court’s termination of the mother’s parental rights to the two children, as well as the termination of the father’s parental rights to the older child.
