Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Jones County, Joan M. Black, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, C.J., and Ahlers and Sandy, JJ. Opinion by Ahlers, J. (9 pages)
A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights. OPINON HOLDS: Because the child could not be safely returned to the mother’s custody at the time of the termination hearing, a statutory ground for termination is satisfied. The strength of the parent-child bond does not warrant forgoing termination in this instance.
