Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Stephen C. Clarke, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., Schumacher, J., and Gamble, S.J. Opinion by Gamble, S.J. (9 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her two children. A father separately appeals the termination of his parental rights to his child. OPINION HOLDS: A statutory ground authorized termination with respect to both parents. We reject the mother’s claim that termination is not in the children’s best interests. And neither parent is entitled to additional time to work toward reunification.
