FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 233105
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-352657
TRACY DIENE KEMP,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
WILLIE OUTLAW,
Respondent.
Before: Gage, P.J., and Griffin and G. S. Buth*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g). We affirm. This case is being
decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that subsection 19b(3)(g) was established by
clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I), In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445 NW2d 161
(1989). Petitioner’s evidence established that respondent-appellant failed to stabilize her life by
addressing her psychological problems and establishing suitable housing, despite having
numerous opportunities to comply with the parent-agency agreement. Because the evidence did
not show that termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the
* Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.

children’s best interests, the trial court did not err in terminating her parental rights. MCL

Affirmed.
