Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Fayette County, Linnea M.N. Nicol, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (9 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her son, arguing statutory grounds, best interests, and reasonable efforts claims. She also asks for an extension. OPINION HOLDS: After reviewing these four claims, we find no basis for relief. Instead, clear and convincing evidence shows that the grip of the mother’s methamphetamine addiction prevents safe parenting.
