Nos. 20140456-20140457 and 20140465-20140466

[¶1] C.R., mother, and D.D., father, of minor children D.D. and H.D., each appeal from the district court amended order terminating their parental rights.  C.R. argues the district court lacked clear and convincing evidence that deprivation was likely to continue and that the children likely would suffer harm absent termination of parental rights.  D.D., father, argues the district court erred when it found the causes of deprivation are likely to continue and that reasonable efforts were made to reunify the family after the children were removed.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
