Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 222851
Kent Circuit CourtFamily Division
LC No. 99-000536-NA
DAWN M. VANDERLIP,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KEVIN VANDERLIP,
Respondent.
Before: Jansen, P.J., and Hood and Saad, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent-Appellant appeals as of right from a family court order terminating her parental
rights to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(f) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(f) and
(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, respondent-appellant failed to show that termination of her parental rights
was clearly not in the child’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re
Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Accordingly, the family court did not
err in terminating respondent-appellant’s parental rights to the minor child. Id
