Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cass County, Ashley West-Joons, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered without oral argument by Chicchelly, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, P.J. (6 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. She argues (1) termination of her parental rights is not in the child’s best interests and (2) the juvenile court should have applied a permissive exception to preclude termination. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find termination of the mother’s parental rights is in the child’s best interests and the mother failed to preserve her claim on the application of a permissive exception for review, we affirm.
