Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lee (South) County, Jonathan Stensvaag, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Badding, P.J., and Langholz and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Langholz, J. (8 pages)
A mother appeals the private termination of her parental rights under Iowa Code chapter 600A, arguing that termination is not in her daughter’s best interest. OPINION HOLDS: Giving the district court’s factual findings their due weight, we find the mother has not assumed the duties of a parent and termination best serves the daughter’s long-term needs.
