Before: McDonald, P.J., and Wahls and J. 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)(b)(ii), (c)(i) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(b)(ii), (c)(i) and (j). We affirm. The juvenile court did not clearly err n finding that statutory grounds for termination were i established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). * Circuit judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment. -1 The court must find that at least one of the statutory grounds for termination has been met by clear and convincing evidence. In re McIntyre, 192 Mich App 47; 480 NW2d 293 (1991). The evidence clearly indicates the respondent had failed to remedy the conditions which ultimately resulted in the children being placed in foster care even though she had over four and one-half years to do so. Affirmed. /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ Myron H. Wahls /s/ John R. Weber -2
