Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Virginia Cobb, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (6 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to two children under Iowa Code section 600A.8(3)(b) (2022). OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence shows the father abandoned the children. Although the father tries to blame his lack of contact with the children on external factors, we are unpersuaded.
