Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Linda M. Fangman, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. She implicitly challenges one of the two statutory grounds for termination, argues termination is not in the child’s best interests, and requests additional time to work toward reunification. OPINION HOLDS: As the mother does not challenge one of the statutory grounds for termination, her challenge under that ground is waived. Termination is in the child’s best interests. We do not grant the mother any additional time to work toward reunification.
