STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of J.M.J.M, L.C.M, M.L.M., A.N.F., J.F., and C.R.W., Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED November 12, 2002 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 236942 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 91-293426 ZORA CHARLOTTE MORGAN, Respondent-Appellant, and JEROME FARROW, CARLOS RENARD WILLIAMS, and DEWAYNE SIMMS, Respondents. Before: Griffin, P.J., and Gage and Meter, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g). This appeal is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). We affirm. The trial 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). The mother has a chronic substance abuse history. She has participated in ten separate programs with intermittent success but no significant improvement. She still remains a drug addict. All of the respective fathers have abandoned their children. Further, although not raised by respondent-appellant, the evidence did not show that termination of respondent-appellant’s parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). -1- Thus, the trial court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to her children. Affirmed. /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Hilda R. Gage /s/ Patrick M. Meter -2-
