Unpublished Opinion No. 2005-UP-351
Submitted May 1, 2005 � Filed May 23, 2005

AFFIRMED

C. Kevin Miller, of Spartanburg, for Appellant.

Kenneth Philip Shabel, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

Stacey Campbell Davis, of Spartanburg, for Guardian Ad Litem.

PER CURIAM: The South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) commenced this action against Amanda Sisk a/k/a Amanda Hunter, Jeffrey Sisk, David Motts, and John Doe seeking to terminate their parental rights in and to three minor children�Austin, Corey, and Destynie.� Jeffrey Sisk, the father of Austin and Corey, reached an agreement with DSS and was dismissed from the action.� Similarly, David Motts was dismissed after he submitted a paternity test that proved he was not Destynie�s father.�

The action preceded against Amanda Sisk and John Doe, the unknown father to Destynie.� Following a hearing, the family court issued an order terminating Amanda Sisk�s parental rights to all three children, and terminating John Doe�s parental rights as to Desynie.� Specifically, the family court found termination was in the children�s best interests and articulated four grounds for termination: (1) the children were harmed and the home could not be made safe within 12 months; (2) willful failure to visit; (3) willful failure to support; and (4) the children have been in the care of the State for 15 of the most recent 22 months.� See S.C. Code Ann. � 20-7-1572 (Supp. 2004).�

After a thorough review of the record pursuant to Ex Parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we affirm the family court�s ruling and grant counsel�s petition to be relieved.�
