Overview: Fact that during part of time her CINA children lived with their grandmother, mother also lived there for two months, did not mean she had "physical custody" of them such that they were not uninterruptedly removed for statutory period of time and court did not err in terminating the mother's parental rights under Iowa Code § 232.116(1)(h) and (f).
