A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We dismiss the mother’s appeal as untimely. The father’s challenge to the services provided to him is not preserved for our review, termination of his parental rights is in the child’s best interests, and we reject any other arguments he raises.
