Petitioner-Appellee,
v
SANDRA YVETTE STORBALL,
No. 210078
Wayne Juvenile Court
LC No. 93-305947
Respondent-Appellant,
and
HOYLE DENNARD,
Respondent.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and MacKenzie and Talbot, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by delayed leave granted from the lower court order terminating
her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i) and (g). We affirm.
The lower court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination were
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974; In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337; 445
NW2d 161 (1989). Moreover, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental
rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5);
In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Contrary to what
respondent-appellant argues, the record indicates that petitioner made
-2
reasonable efforts to reunite the family. In re Springer, 172 Mich App 466, 474-475; 432 NW2d 342
(1988). Thus, the lower court did not err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the
children. In re Hall-Smith, supra.
Affirmed.
