Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Kimberly K. Shepherd, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (10 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her three children. OPINION HOLDS: Because after our de novo review of the record we find that the children could not be safely returned to the mother’s custody at the time of the termination hearing and reliance on the permissive exception to order a guardianship is unwarranted, we affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
