Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Mahaska County, Rose Anne Mefford, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., Tabor, J., and Mahan, S.J. Opinion by Mahan, S.J. (8 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her children, born in 2015 and 2018. She contends the State failed to prove the grounds for termination cited by the juvenile court, the department of human services failed to make reasonable efforts toward reunification, and termination was not in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the decision of the juvenile court to terminate the mother’s parental rights.
