Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clay County, Andrew J. Smith, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (9 pages)
A young mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her two-year-old child. She challenges the statutory ground for termination under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2021) and argues the juvenile court should have granted her a six-month extension to participate in additional services once she turned age eighteen. OPINION HOLDS: Because there is clear and convincing evidence that termination was appropriate and an extension was not warranted, we affirm the termination order.
