Before: Jansen, P.J., and Zahra and Owens, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondents appeal as of right from the family court order
terminating their parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j);
MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. This case is being decided without oral
argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
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 respondentappellants’ parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5);
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-appellants’ parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
