Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Mark Fowler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. She does not contest that grounds for termination exist. However, she asserts termination is not in the child’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: We agree with the juvenile court that termination and adoption will best provide N.P. with stability and permanency, and we therefore affirm.
