Respondent-Appellant,

Before: Griffin, P.J., and Zahra and Pavlich*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(3)(g). We
affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory ground for termination 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). In addition,
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). Therefore, the family court
