Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Lynn Poschner, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (10 pages)
A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights to their two children. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State proved grounds for termination by clear and convincing evidence and termination is in the best interests of D.D. and L.D., we affirm. We also do not find an exception for a bond, nor do we grant the father’s request to defer permanency for six months. We affirm on both appeals.
