Before: Markey, P.J., and Whitbeck and J. L. Martlew*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
The family court terminated respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the minor children,
following her voluntary release of her parental rights pursuant to MCL 710.29; MSA
27.3178(555.29). The court denied respondent-appellant’s subsequent motion to vacate her
release. Respondent-appellant now appeals by delayed leave granted. We affirm.
The family court did not abuse its discretion in determining that respondent-appellant’s
release of her parental rights was in the children’s best interests and, therefore, denying her
motion to set aside the release. In re Burns, 236 Mich App 291, 292-293; 599 NW2d 783
(1999).
We affirm.
/s/ Jane E. Markey
/s/ William C. Whitbeck
/s/ Jeffrey L. Martlew
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.
