Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Kimberly Ayotte, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Schumacher and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (9 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to two of her children. She challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the grounds for termination, claims termination is not in the children’s best interests, argues a permissive exception to termination applies, and requests additional time to work toward reunification. OPINION HOLDS: Upon review, we affirm.
