In the Matter of WESLEY G. DONOVAN, DAVID

Minors.
FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
September 23, 1997
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 200115
Mecosta Juvenile Court
LC No. 96-002963-NA
ROSEANN CRISMAN,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: O’Connell, P.J., and White and C. F. Youngblood*, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to
the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (b)(ii), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(i),
(b)(ii), (g) and (j). We affirm.
The juvenile 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, respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was
clearly not in the children’s best interests. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; ___ NW2d
___ (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights to the
children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5).
Affirmed.
