Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Susan Cox, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (11 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights as to two children. OPINION HOLDS: We find no denial of the mother’s due process rights. We find the record supports termination of the mother’s rights to the two children. Finally, we reject mother’s arguments that a permissive exception should have been applied, a six-month extension should have been granted, and termination is not in the children’s best interests.
