Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Carrie K. Bryner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Bower, C.J. (9 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. The mother asserts termination of her rights is not in the best interests of the children and the court failed to consider applying an exception to termination. The father challenges the grounds for termination and whether termination is in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm on both appeals.
