PER CURIAM.
Matthew Clark appeals an adoption decree finding his consent was not necessary for the adoption of two minor children. See S.C. Code Ann. § 63-9-310(A)(4) (2010). Upon a thorough review of the record and the family court's findings of facts and conclusions of law pursuant to Ex parte Cauthen, 291 S.C. 465, 354 S.E.2d 381 (1987), we find no meritorious issues that warrant briefing. Accordingly, we affirm the family court's ruling and relieve Clark's counsel.
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
HUFF, GEATHERS, and MCDONALD, JJ., concur.
