Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, David F. Staudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Tabor, J., and Potterfield, S.J. Opinion by Potterfield, S.J. (7 pages)
The mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to S.F., born in 2015. She contends the statutory ground for termination was not proved or, alternatively, the court should have delayed permanency to give her additional time to work toward reunification. Additionally, she maintains it is not the child’s best interests to terminate her rights because of their close bond. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
