A father appeals the termination of his parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: The father failed to comply with form 5 of Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.201(1)(d). Accordingly, his claims are waived. In the best interests of the child, however, a de novo review concludes clear and convincing evidence supports the termination.
