Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Joan M. Black, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered without oral argument by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (11 pages)
The biological parents separately appeal from an order terminating their parental rights. The father challenges the statutory ground relied on by the district court. And both parents contend termination is not in the child’s best interests, the district court should have granted additional time for reunification efforts, and their respective bonds with the child should preclude termination. The mother also challenges the reasonable efforts finding by the district court. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm on both appeals.
