Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for O'Brien County, David C. Larson, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals from the termination of her parental rights. She argues that termination is not in her child’s best interest, the bond between her and the child is strong enough to overcome the need for termination, and she should have been granted a six-month extension. OPINION HOLDS: Termination is in the child’s best interests. There was not a strong enough bond between the mother and the child to overcome the need for termination. There was no indication that the need for termination would not exist at the end of a six-month extension.
