Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Susan Cox, Judge. AFFIRMED ON BOTH APPEALS. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Greer and Schumacher, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, J. (11 pages)
A mother and father each appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: We find there is clear and convincing evidence in the record to support termination of the mother’s parental rights. We find termination of the father’s parental rights is in the children’s best interests, an exception to termination should not be applied, and it would not be in the children’s best interests to grant the father an additional extension of time. We affirm the termination of the mother’s and father’s parental rights.
