In re P.L., 778 N.W.2d 33, 40 (Iowa 2010). We have carefully reviewed the record, the briefs of the parties, and the juvenile court s exceptionally thorough, well-reasoned, and well-written ruling. We adopt as our own the findings of the juvenile court after our de novo review of the record. Because we agree and approve of the reasoning and conclusions therein, and because we believe there is little we can add to the ruling, we affirm pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203(a), (d). AFFIRMED.
