MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from the
family court’s order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i),
(c)(ii), (g), and (i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii), (g), and (i). We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that §§ 19b(3)(c)(ii) and (g) were both established
by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989). Therefore, it is unnecessary to determine whether termination was also warranted under
§§ 19b(3)(c)(i) and (i). Further, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental
rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5);
MCR 5.974(E)(2); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus,
the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. Id.
We affirm.
