Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Carrie K. Bryner, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (15 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. Although they appeal separately, they raise identical claims. Each contests the statutory grounds for termination and contends termination of their respective parental rights is not in their children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our de novo review of the record, we affirm the termination of each parent’s rights.
