Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., Greer, J., and Doyle, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (5 pages)
Parents appeal the termination of their parental rights over E.D. Each argue the juvenile court did not have sufficient evidence to supports termination. Alternatively, both request additional time to prepare for reunification. OPINION HOLDS: There is sufficient evidence to support termination. And delaying permanency is not a good option for E.D. We affirm.
