CLARK, Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
April 6, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 229447
Kent Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 99-056300-NA
JUANITA CLARK,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
LANCE CLARK,
Respondent.
Before: Talbot, P.J., and Sawyer and F.L. Borchard*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the family court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j);
MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g), and (j). 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 Miller, 433 Mich 331,
337; 445 NW2d 161 (1989). Further, the evidence did not show that termination of respondentappellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5);
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus,
the family court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
