Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lynn Poschner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON ALL THREE APPEALS. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (15 pages)
The mother of all seven children and the two biological fathers of the six youngest children appeal the juvenile court’s order terminating their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: After our de novo review, we determine the children cannot be returned to the care of any parent at this time, an additional six months is not warranted for any parent, termination is in the children’s best interests, and two children’s objection to terminating their father’s parental rights does not preclude termination. Therefore, we affirm.
