Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Cynthia S. Finley, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (11 pages)
A mother appeals the district court order terminating her parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support termination of the mother’s parental rights, termination is in the children’s best interests, and an exception to termination should not be applied. An extension of time for reunification efforts is unwarranted on these facts. We affirm the termination of the mother’s parental rights.
