Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Cynthia S. Finley, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (13 pages)
Two parents separately appeal termination of their parental rights. The mother challenges the statutory ground for termination and asserts her bond with the child should preclude termination of her rights, while the father argues multiple permissive exceptions should preclude termination of his rights. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the State met the ground for termination and no permissive exceptions apply, we affirm on both appeals.
