Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Christine Dalton, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Greer, P.J., and Ahlers and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Greer, P.J. (3 pages)
The mother appeals the juvenile court’s dispositional review order in these child-in-need-of-assistance (CINA) proceedings, claiming the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify her with the children and the juvenile court should have concluded the CINA proceedings have served their purpose and close the cases. OPINION HOLDS: Because these claims are contrary to the stance the mother took at the dispositional review hearing, she waived her right to challenge these rulings. We affirm.
