EISENHAUER, J.
A mother appeals from the termination of her parental rights to her
children. She contends termination of her parental rights violated the Americans
with Disabilities Act. This issue was not presented to the juvenile court, nor was
it addressed in the termination order.
“Even issues implicating constitutional
rights must be presented to and ruled upon by the district court in order to
preserve error for appeal.” In re K.C., 660 N.W.2d 29, 38 (Iowa 2003). Because
error was not preserved, we decline to address the merits of the issue.
AFFIRMED.
