Considered by Tabor, P.J. , and Mullins and May, JJ.2

MAY , Judge

. T his case focuses on two children, A.G., born April 2009, and J .G. , born October 2018. But we must first discuss a previous termination that occurred before either A.G. or J .G. were born. In 2007, the mother voluntarily agreed to termination of her parental rights to her oldest child. Concerns in that case included the mother’s substance abuse. Fast

- forward to October 2018. Just a week after giving birth to J.G., the

m other suffered an overdose of methamphetamine while traveling in a vehicle with A.G. and J.G. S he was hospitalized for more than a week. The children were placed in foster care. Although numerous services were provided to the mother, she has shown
littl e progress. She missed multiple drug tests. And she failed to maintain consistent visitation and contact with her children. Ultimately, the juvenile court terminated the mother’s rights under Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(g) (2019) as
to A.G. and Iow a Co de section 232.116(1)(h) as to J.G. 1 The mother appeals. 2
T he mother does not raise any claims under our traditional three

- part analysis. See In re A.S. , 906 N.W.2d 467, 472

– 73 (Iowa 2018). Instead, she
argues : (1) Iowa Code section 232.116(1)(g) viola tes her constitutional rights because it treats prior terminations from Iowa courts differently from those from other jurisdictions, (2) the State may not admit a prior termination order unless the

court takes judicial notice of the prior termination record , 3 and (3) A.G. must be removed from the mother’s care for one year before the State may pursue termination. But the mother provides no authority to support her claims. So we find she has waived them. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.903(2)(g)(3) (“Failure to cite authority in support of an issue may be deemed waiver of that issue.”); In re Marriage of Oswalt

AFFIRMED.

3 We note the mother cites In re J.E. , No. 15

- 0187, 2016 WL 2753774 (Iowa Ct. App. May 11, 2016) in support of this claim. But we find this case is not relevant
