Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Rachael E. Seymour, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Schumacher, JJ.  Opinion by Schumacher, J.  (12 pages)

            Parents appeal the termination of their parental rights.  OPINION HOLDS: Termination was warranted with respect to the father under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2019) and with respect to the mother under section 232.116(1)(g).  We find termination to be in the child’s best interests and refrain from applying a permissive factor as set forth in Iowa Code section 232.116(3).
