STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS


In the Matter of MESSIAHRA JOHNSON, Minor.

FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY, Petitioner-Appellee, v BRIDGETTE REED, Respondent-Appellant.

UNPUBLISHED January 4, 2000

No. 219965 Kalamazoo Circuit Court Family Division LC No. 94-000001 NA

Before: Saad, P.J., and McDonald and Gage, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Respondent appeals as of right from an order terminating her parental rights to the minor child after she failed to comply with the requirements of an Adrianson agreement, In re Adrianson, 105 Mich App 300; 306 NW2d 487 (1981). We affirm. The record indicates that grounds for termination under MCL 712A.19b(3)(g) and (i); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(3)(g) and (i) were established by clear and convincing evidence. In re Sherman, 231 Mich App 92, 97; 585 NW2d 326 (1998). Further, respondent failed to show that termination of her parental rights was clearly not in the minor child's best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Hall-Smith, 222 Mich App 470, 472-473; 564 NW2d 156 (1997). Contrary to what respondent argues on appeal, the evidence established that she failed to comply with almost all of the requirements of the conditions of compliance. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in terminating respondent's parental rights to the child. In re Adrianson, supra at 300. Affirmed. /s/ Henry William Saad /s/ Gary R. McDonald /s/ Hilda R. Gage
