Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Bremer County, Peter B. Newell, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (7 pages)
The mother appeals the termination of her parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2025). She contests the grounds for termination, argues termination is not in the child’s best interests, and contends that the permissive exception should apply given her strong bond with the child. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the termination.
