MEMORANDUM.
In these consolidated appeals, respondents Kristin Stafford and Jessie P. Willis appeal as of
right from the family court order terminating their parental rights to the minor children. Respondent
Stafford’s parental rights were terminated under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i) and (g). Respondent Willis’ parental rights were terminated under MCL
712A.19b(3)(g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g). We affirm.
The family 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, the record does not support respondent Willis’ claim that termination of
his parental rights was clearly not in his 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 family court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to the children.
Affirmed.
