Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Carrie K. Bryner, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered without oral argument by Tabor, C.J., and Badding and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Sandy, J. (7 pages)
A mother and a father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because A.R. and J.R. cannot be safely returned to their parents’ care at the time of the termination trial, and because termination is in the children’s best interests, we affirm the termination of both parents’ parental rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(f) (2025).
