Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Erik I. Howe, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Mullins, S.J. Opinion by Mullins, S.J. (11 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her two daughters under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) and (h). She challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the grounds for termination and contends termination is not in the girls’ best interests. OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we find that the mother remained unable to meet all her children’s needs at the time of termination. We also agree with the juvenile court’s conclusion that termination is in the best interests of these girls. We therefore affirm.
