R. Weber*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1­ The juvenile court did not err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Even though the probate court was only required to find one statutory ground for termination of respondent’s parental rights, this Court finds the respondent’s parental rights were properly terminated under § (3)(a)(ii) and § (3)(c)(i), and the evidence also supports a finding under § (3)(g) that respondent failed to provide proper care and custody of the minor children and there was no reasonable expectation that she would be able to do so within a reasonable time. Finally, the evidence indicated that respondent continued to suffer from some form of psychosis, which also supports a finding under § (3)(j) that there was a reasonable likelihood, based on respondent’s conduct or capacity, that the children would be harmed if they were returned to her care. Affirmed. /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ Myron H. Wahls /s/ John R. Weber -2­
