In the Matter of ROBERT ROGERS, JHYRA ROGERS and CHARLES ROGERS, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 216092 Calhoun Circuit Court Family Division CHARLES ROGERS, SR., -1­ LC No. 95-000049 NA Respondent-Appellant, and, MARY WARD, RAY HOLMES, SR., and RICHARD MCGEE, Respondents. Before: White, P.J., and Markey and Wilder, JJ. MEMORANDUM. In these consolidated cases, respondents-appellants appeal as of right from the family court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. The family court did not clearly err in finding that 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, respondent-appellants failed to show that termination of their parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondents-appellants’ parental rights to the children. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Helene N. White /s/ Jane E. Markey /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder -2­
