Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Cynthia S. Finley, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Sandy, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Bower, S.J. (9 pages)
Parents separately appeal the termination of their parental rights to their child. Both challenge the statutory grounds for termination. The mother further claims termination is not in the child’s best interests due to the bond she shares with the child and requests additional time to work toward reunification. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm on both appeals.
