Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Pottawattamie County, Charles D. Fagan, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., Mullins, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Vogel, S.J. (6 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: The statutory grounds for termination are satisfied, DHS provided reasonable efforts for reunification, termination is in the children’s best interests, and the mother’s bond with the children does not preclude termination. Therefore, we affirm the termination of both parents’ parental rights.
