Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Rachael E. Seymour, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find the termination of the mother’s parental rights is supported by clear and convincing evidence, termination is in the child’s best interests, the mother has not shown an exception to termination should be applied, and the court properly denied the mother’s request for an extension of time. We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
