Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. OPINION HOLDS: The State proved the grounds for termination under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2022), and termination is in the child’s best interests. Because delaying permanency would not eliminate the need for the child’s removal, we decline to grant the mother additional time for reunification under section 232.104(2)(b).
