Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Boone County, James B. Malloy, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Mullins, JJ.  Opinion by Bower, C.J.  (7 pages)

            A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights.  OPINION HOLDS: Because grounds for termination exist under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2020), termination of parental rights is in the child’s best interests, and no permissive exception weighs against termination, we affirm.
