COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of MESSIAHRA JOHNSON, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
January 4, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219965
Kalamazoo Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 94-000001 NA
BRIDGETTE REED,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from an order terminating her parental rights to the minor child
after she failed to comply with the requirements of an Adrianson agreement, In re Adrianson, 105
Mich App 300; 306 NW2d 487 (1981). We affirm.
The record indicates that grounds for termination under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (i); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (i) were established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Sherman,
231 Mich App 92, 97; 585 NW2d 326 (1998). Further, respondent failed to show that termination of
her parental rights was clearly not in the minor child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
Contrary to what respondent argues on appeal, the evidence established that she failed to comply with
almost all of the requirements of the conditions of compliance. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse
its discretion in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the child. In re Adrianson, supra at 300.
Affirmed.
