STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS In the Matter of J. R. A., J. M. A., and B. F. A, Minors. FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, UNPUBLISHED February 19, 2002 Petitioner-Appellee, v DOREEN MARIE COLEMAN, a/k/a DOREEN MARIE ADAMS, a/k/a DOREEN THOMAS, No. 232713 Wayne Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 98-372236 Respondent-Appellant. Before: Neff, P.J., and Cavanagh and Saad, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-mother (“respondent”) appeals as of right a family court order terminating her parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g). 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 noncompliance with her parent-agency agreement over two years, her lack of stable housing, and her failure to demonstrate that she could properly care and provide for the children within a reasonable time. MCR 5.974(I); Huisman, supra. Affirmed. /s/ Janet T. Neff /s/ Mark J. Cavanagh /s/ Henry William Saad
