Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Charles D. Fagan, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Doyle and Bower, JJ. Opinion by Doyle, J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence shows the State proved the grounds for terminating the mother’s parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2019) and termination is in the child’s best interests. The mother failed to preserve her challenge to the reasonable efforts made to return the child to her care. We therefore affirm.
