Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jasper County, Steven J. Holwerda, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Schumacher and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (11 pages)
A mother appeals the district court order terminating her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is sufficient evidence in the record to support termination of the mother’s parental rights, termination of her rights is in the children’s best interests, none of the exceptions to termination should be applied, and an extension of time for additional reunification efforts is unwarranted. We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
