Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wapello County, Richelle Mahaffey, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (8 pages)
The mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to A.B., pursuant to Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) and (l) (2025). She contests the grounds for termination and argues termination is not in A.B.’s best interests given their strong bond and the mother’s recent progress. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm.
