FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 229530 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 87-265326 GEORGE JEFFRY CHILDERS, Respondent-Appellant, and MARY LOUISE TITUS CHILDERS, -2- Respondent. Before: Wilder, P.J., and Hood and Griffin, JJ. MEMORANDUM. In these consolidated appeals, respondents appeal as of right from the family court orders terminating their parental rights to minors Elise, Rebekah, and Joseph under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (b)(ii), (c)(i), and (j), and to minors Sarah, Christina, and George under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (b)(ii), (c)(i), (g), (i), (j) and (l). 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 respondents’ parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 354; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). Thus, the family court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children. Id. Affirmed. /s/ Kurtis T.
