FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
March 16, 2001
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 228130
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 98-364088
TAHIRIH KAMAL CHAMBERS,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Murphy, P.J., and Hood and Cooper, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right the family court’s order terminating her parental rights to
C.C. pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(g), (i) and (j); MSA 27.3178(598.19b) (g), (i) and (j). We
affirm.
After a careful review of the record, we are satisfied that the family court did not err in
finding that §§ 19b(3)(g), (i) and (j) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR
5.974(I); In re Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593 NW2d 520 (1999). Further we find no error in the
family court’s finding that termination was in the best interest of the child. MCL 712A.19b(5);
MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356, 364-365; 612 NW2d 407 (2000).
The record indicates that C.C. was born with cocaine in her system. Furthermore,
respondent’s parental rights to her three other children were previously terminated based on
neglect and drug abuse issues. Respondent also failed to establish her employment status, the
-1-
adequacy or permanency of her housing, or that she was involved in a drug treatment program.
C.C.’s positive drug screen, coupled with this lack of evidence, supports the family court’s
decision. In re Trejo, supra.
Affirmed.
