Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Greer, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Danilson, S.J.  Opinion by Danilson, S.J.  (7 pages)

            A mother appeals the juvenile court decision terminating her parental rights.  OPINION HOLDS: We find there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support termination of the mother’s parental rights.  Also, termination of her parental rights is in the children’s best interests; an extension of time would not be in their best interests.  Additionally, we agree with the juvenile court that none of the exceptions to termination should be applied in this case.  We affirm the decision of the juvenile court.
