STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of KYREISHA JANAY WARD and DONTEZ LAMAR PROFIT, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED September 25, 1998 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 206191 Wayne Juvenile Court LC No. 94-315840 MICHELLE RENEE PROFIT, Respondent-Appellant, and THOMAS PATRICK HUMES and ANDRE WARD, Respondents. Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O'Connell, 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)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178 (598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). 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-appellant 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; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Thus, the juvenile court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5). -1­ Affirmed. /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Peter D. O'Connell -2­
