Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Greer and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (8 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her son contending that termination was not in his best interests and that the court should have entered a bridge order. OPINION HOLDS: We agree with the juvenile court that it was in the child’s best interests to terminate the mother’s rights and a bridge order is not an appropriate option, nor is it in the child’s best interests. So we affirm.
