Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Carrie Bryner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (7 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. She claims that the State failed to prove a ground for termination, that termination is not in the best interests of the child, and that her close bond with the child should prevent termination. OPINION HOLDS: We find the State established a ground for termination by clear and convincing evidence. We also find that termination is in the child’s best interests and that the parent-child bond is insufficient to preclude termination. We affirm.
