Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte Renze, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (8 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: The grounds for termination were established, reasonable efforts were made, an extension is not appropriate, termination is in the children’s best interests, and the parent-child bonds do not outweigh the children’s best interests. We affirm on both appeals.
