Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Lee (South) County, Clinton R. Boddicker, Judge.  AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS.  Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Badding, JJ.  Opinion by Bower, C.J.  (16 pages)

            A mother and a father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights.  OPINION HOLDS: We affirm on both appeals because grounds for termination exist, an extension is unwarranted, termination is in the child’s best interests, and we decline to invoke a permissive exception.
