Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, David F. Staudt, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her two children under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(h) (2022), challenging the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the ground for termination, argues termination is not in the children’s best interests because of her bond with them, and requests more time to work toward reunification. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
