Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Cynthia S. Finley, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (5 pages)
A mother challenges the termination of her parental rights, asserting the ground for termination has not been established, an extension of time would remedy her issues, and termination is not in the child’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: The child cannot be returned to the mother’s care, an extension is unwarranted, and termination is in the child’s best interests. We affirm.
