Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Daniel L. Block, Associate Juvenile Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (4 pages)
The father appeals the termination of his parental rights to J.M., who was born in 2020. As we understand the father’s arguments, he requests more time to work toward reunification and argues that the Iowa Department of Human Services failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify him and J.M. OPINION HOLDS: A delay in permanency is not warranted here, and the father failed to raise the issue of reasonable efforts before the termination period so we do not consider it. We affirm.
