In the Matter of ANTON LACEL, DAIQUAWAN M. LOVE, and LAHONNA DONALDSON, Minors __________________________________________ DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Petitioner-Appellee. v TABITHA DONALDSON, Respondent-Appellant, and DAMON WATKINS, JACOB HARRIS LOVE and GEORGE PETIGRENO, Respondents. No. 195524 Genesee Juvenile Court LC No. 94-100263-NA UNPUBLISHED October 17, 1997

Before: Doctoroff, P.J., and Cavanagh and Saad, J.J. MEMORANDUM. Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the juvenile court order that terminated her parental rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii) and (g); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (c)(ii) and (g). We affirm. The juvenile court did not err in finding that 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 did not show that termination was not in the children's best interests. Thus, the juvenile court did not err in ruling that her parental rights should be terminated. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5), In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997).
