Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Eric J. Nelson, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Mullins, P.J., and May and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (9 pages)
The mother appeals the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: The mother waived any challenge to termination of her rights based on lack of reasonable efforts being made for reunification. The State met its burden of establishing statutory grounds for termination. The closeness of the mother-child relationship does not warrant application of a permissive exception. As a result, we affirm.
