Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 219732
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 97-352256
VERONICA SUE STANLEY COLE,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
DANIEL DENNIE and CHARLES KENDALL
HERWIG,
Respondents.
Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-appellant appeals by right from an order terminating her parental rights to the minor
children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). We
affirm. This case is being decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
The trial 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). Although respondent-appellant complied with some of the requirements of the
parent/agency agreement, the evidence indicated that she did not benefit from the services provided.
Further, 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). Thus, the trial court did not err in
terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the children.
We affirm.
