1Opinion of the CourtLeGrand, J.
On November 18, 1966, the district court of Dubuque County, sitting as a juvenile court, entered a decree severing the parental rights of both Virgil Chambers and Barbara Chambers with reference to their minor son, Charles Chambers.
This decree was based upon evidence taken at a hearing under chapter 232, Code of Iowa. Chapter 232 was enacted in its present form in 1965, at which time the former juvenile Act was repealed. Much of the present Act is the same as the old, but some substantial changes were made. The particular sections important to this action will be discussed later.
