COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of THOMAS R. ROBINSON, Minor.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
January 14, 2000
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
APRIL JOY ROBINSON,
Nos. 217247, 217267
Oakland Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 95-060152 NA
Respondent-Appellant,
and
SCOTT ALLEN RAY,
Respondent.
Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and
(g). We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Moreover, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination was clearly not in
the 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 respondent-appellant’s claim, the
record reveals that reasonable efforts were made to reunite respondent-appellant with her son. Thus,
the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the child. Id.
Affirmed.
