Unpublished Opinion No.  2007-UP-413

Submitted October 1, 2007 – Filed October
5, 2007

AFFIRMED

Sean  Giovannetti, of Spartanburg, for Appellant.

Julie Rau and Tarita A. Dunbar, of Spartanburg, for Respondent.

Michael Todd Thigpen, of Spartanburg, for Guardian ad Litem.

PER CURIAM: Tiffany R. S.
appeals a family court order terminating her parental rights to her three minor
children.  The court found her parental rights should be terminated on three
grounds:  1) she failed to remedy the conditions that caused the removal of the
children; 2) she had a diagnosable mental condition and it was unlikely the condition
would change within a reasonable time; and 3) the children had been in foster
care for at least fifteen of the last twenty-two months.  Additionally, the
court found termination was in the best interest of the children.  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.

AFFIRMED.[1]

HEARN, C.J., HUFF and KITTREDGE, J.J., concur.

[1]  We decide this case without oral argument
pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
