Interest of S.J.Nos. 20080328 - 20080329 Per Curiam. [¶1] M.S. appeals from a juvenile court judgment adopting a juvenile referee's findings and order terminating her parental rights to A.J. and B.J. M.S. argues the court erred in finding there was clear and convincing evidence that the conditions and causes of deprivation are likely to continue and that the children will probably suffer serious physical, mental, moral, or emotional harm absent a termination of parental rights. M.S. also argues that reasonable efforts were not made to prevent removal of the minor children and to reunify the family once the children were removed. [¶2] We conclude the juvenile court's judgment is based on findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous and summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). [¶3] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.
