Summary

    Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Linnea M.N. Nicol, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ.  Opinion by Tabor, C.J.  (9 pages)

    A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her son, arguing statutory grounds, best interests, and reasonable efforts claims.  She also asks for an extension.  OPINION HOLDS: After reviewing these four claims, we find no basis for relief.  Instead, clear and convincing evidence shows that the grip of the mother’s methamphetamine addiction prevents safe parenting.
