Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Brent Pattison, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., Badding, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Carr, S.J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find termination of the mother’s parental rights is supported by clear and convincing evidence, termination is in the children’s best interests, none of the exceptions to termination should be applied, and the court properly denied the mother’s request to place the children in a guardianship. We affirm the juvenile court’s decision terminating the mother’s parental rights.
