Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Kimberly K. Shepherd, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (5 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to three children, contending that termination is not in their best interests and requesting more time. OPINION HOLDS: We see no reason to extend the time that has already been given to the mother while she was unable to stabilize herself and be a successful parent. Termination and a move toward stability is in the children’s best interests, and the strength of the parent-child relationship does not counsel against termination.
