FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED March 26, 1999 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 213129 Midland Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 97-010356 NA NANCY THORNTON and RANDY SIAN, Respondents-Appellants. Before: O’Connell, P.J., and Jansen and Collins, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondents appeal as of right from a family court order terminating their parental rights to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (j). We affirm. The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination under § 19b(3)(g) was established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997); In re Vasquez, 199 Mich App 44, 51-52; 501 NW2d 231 (1993). Further, respondents failed to show that termination of their parental rights was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). Therefore, the family court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the child. In re Hall-Smith, supra. Affirmed. -1­ /s/ Peter D. O’Connell /s/ Kathleen Jansen /s/ Jeffrey G.
