Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lynn Poschner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by May, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Scott, S.J. Opinion by Scott, S.J. (3 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child, born in 2016, pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2020), arguing there was insufficient evidence to support the final element of that provision—that the child could not be returned to their care at the time of the termination hearing. OPINION HOLDS: We deem the mother’s argument waived and, alternatively, conclude the evidence was sufficient to support termination. We affirm termination of the mother’s parental rights.
