STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of T. B. K., Minor. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 1, 2002 Petitioner-Appellee, v No. 233387 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 89-279892 CHRISTINA KAY STEVENSON, Respondent-Appellant, and TERRI LEE KIDD, Respondent. Before: Cavanagh, P.J., and Neff and B. B. MacKenzie*, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-mother (“respondent”) appeals as of right a family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor child pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(a)(ii), (c)(i), (g) and (j). We affirm. Only one statutory ground is required to terminate parental rights. In re Huisman, 230 Mich App 372, 384-385; 584 NW2d 349 (1998), overruled in part on other grounds, In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 352-353, n 10; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). The family court did not clearly err in finding that termination under either subsection 3(c)(i) or 3(g) was established by clear and convincing evidence, given respondent’s history of noncompliance with her parent-agency agreement, her continued substance abuse, and her failure to demonstrate that she could properly care and provide for the child within a reasonable time. MCR 5.974(I); Huisman, supra. Affirmed. /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Barbara B. MacKenzie * Former Court of Appeals judge, sitting on the Court of Appeals by assignment.
