Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jefferson County, Patrick McAvan, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Badding, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Chicchelly, J. (11 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child, challenging the State’s reasonable efforts, statutory grounds for termination, and determination that termination is in the child’s best interests. She also argues a six‑month extension should have been granted. OPINION HOLDS: Because we find the statutory grounds are satisfied, termination is in the best interests of the child, and additional time is not warranted, we affirm termination of the mother’s parental rights.
