PER CURIAM.

Kristin Fields Coleman appeals the family court's final order terminating her parental rights to her minor child and granting the child's adoption by Katherine Coleman and Lewis Coleman. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-7-2570 (Supp. 2023). Upon a thorough review of the record and the family court's findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Ex parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we find no meritorious issues warrant briefing.

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

THOMAS, MCDONALD, and VERDIN, JJ., concur.
