Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Thomas J. Straka, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., Chicchelly, J., and Telleen, S.J. Opinion by Telleen, S.J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the juvenile court’s order terminating her parental rights to four children. OPINION HOLDS: We find termination of parental rights is in the best interests of the children and decline to apply a permissive exception based on the parent-child bond. We also conclude that a six-month extension of time was not warranted and that a guardianship with the children’s grandmother was not appropriate at the time of termination. We therefore affirm the order of the juvenile court.
