In the Matter of MICHAEL RYAN DAVIS,
Minor.
DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES,

Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 287192
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 90-285977-NA
ROBIN RENEE DAVIS,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Hoekstra, P.J., and Fitzgerald and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a circuit court order terminating her parental rights
to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g), (j), and (k)(i). We affirm.
This appeal has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that §§ 19b(3)(a)(ii), (g), and (j) were each
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 3.977(G); In re Archer, 277 Mich App 71,
73; 744 NW2d 1 (2007). Respondent had a history of substance abuse. She abandoned her son,
which was not the first time she had done so, and was living on the streets. She made no effort
to participate in services or to contact her son and did not express an interest in reunification
until several months later, when she was in jail. Because grounds for termination were properly
established under §§ 19b(3)(a)(ii), (g), and (j), it is unnecessary to determine whether termination
was also appropriate under §§ 19b(3)(c)(i) and (k)(i). In re Powers, 244 Mich App 111, 118;
624 NW2d 472 (2000).
Affirmed.
