Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Marion County, Steven Guiter, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Doyle, J., and Scott, S.J.  Opinion by Scott, S.J.  (9 pages)

            A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child, born in 2013.  She contends termination is not in the child’s best interests given the parent-child bond, the State failed to make reasonable efforts at reunification, and she should have been granted a six-month extension.  OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
