Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Crawford County, Kristal L. Phillips, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (8 pages)
A father appeals the termination of his parental rights to his twins. He contends the State failed to prove both the grounds for termination and that termination is in the children’s best interests. OPINION HOLDS: Because the statutory grounds for termination have been established and termination is in the best interests of the children, we affirm termination of the father’s parental rights.
