Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Floyd County, Karen Kaufman Salic, District Associate Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ.  Opinion by Ahlers, J.  (14 pages)

            The father of the child appeals from the juvenile court’s order terminating his parental rights under Iowa Code chapter 600A (2019).  OPINION HOLDS: On our de novo review, we find the statutory grounds for termination of parental rights of the father have been established by clear and convincing evidence.  In addition, termination of parental rights has been established to be in the child’s best interest by clear and convincing evidence.  We also reject the father’s arguments relating to the record.
