Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Christine Dalton, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Chicchelly and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, C.J. (9 pages)

OPINION HOLDS: After our independent review of the record, we reach the same conclusion as the juvenile court. As that court found, termination of the mother’s parental rights is the children’s “best chance at long-term stability, growth, and healthy development.” So, we affirm.
