Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Louisa County, Emily S. Dean, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS.  Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Carr, S.J.  Opinion by Carr, S.J.  (6 pages)

            A mother and the State appeal a permanency order regarding placement of L.H. and E.H.  OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence shows the children cannot be returned to the mother’s care.  The mother failed to preserve error on her claim that the juvenile court erred by denying her request that a specific organization provide mental-health services for the children.  Because the children’s best interests are served by placing them with E.H.’s paternal grandparents, we affirm.
