Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dallas County, Erica Crisp, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., Buller, J., and Bower, S.J. Opinion by Bower, S.J. (9 pages)
Parents separately appeal from the termination of their parental rights to two of their children. Both parents claim the State failed to prove the grounds for termination cited by the juvenile court, termination is not in the children’s best interests due to the bond they share with the parents, and the court should have permitted a six-month extension to termination proceedings. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm both appeals.
