COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of KAITLIN FINNEY and KENNETH
FINNEY, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
November 12, 1999
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 217263
Calhoun Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-000334 NA
STACY AVANT,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KENNETH AVANT and NORMAN NORWOOD,
Respondents.
Before: Whitbeck, P.J., and Gribbs and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Stacy Avant appeals as of right from an order terminating her parental rights to the
minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (j). We affirm.
We hold that the trial 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). Avant did not establish that termination was clearly against the best interests
of the children. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
