A mother and father separately appeal the termination of their parental rights. OPINION HOLDS: Clear and convincing evidence supports terminating both parents’ rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(h) (2023), termination is in the child’s best interests, no statutory exception raised is supported by the record, and additional time is unwarranted. We affirm.
