Before: Gage, P.J., and Reilly and Hoekstra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondents-appellants appeal as of right from the probate court order terminating their
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g)
and (j). We affirm.
The probate court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Further, respondents-appellants failed to show that termination of their parental
rights was clearly not in the child’s best interest. In re Hall-Smith, ___ Mich App ___; ___ NW2d
___ (Docket No. 195833, issued 3/25/97), slip op p 3. Thus, the probate court did not err in
terminating respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the child. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5).
Affirmed.
