Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Phillip J. Tabor, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Greer, JJ.  Tabor, J., takes no part.  Opinion by Greer, J.  (3 pages)

            The mother challenges three of the statutory grounds for termination—paragraphs (d), (h), and (l) of Iowa Code section 232.116(1) (2020).  OPINION HOLDS: The mother’s failure to challenge termination under paragraph (e) waives any error as it relates to that ground for termination, and we affirm on that ground without further analysis.
