MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by right from a family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor children pursuant to 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(I); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341,

Respondent-appellant does not challenge the family court’s determination with respect to the
children’s best interests. See MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); Trejo, supra at

NW2d 672 (1992).
We affirm.
