• holding that in an appeal from the termination of parental rights, an appellate court may review the record and make its own determination whether the grounds for termination are supported by clear and convincing evidence
• holding a parent's due process argument was not preserved for appellate review when the issue was not raised to or ruled upon by the family court
• noting that a child being in DSS custody for fifteen of the last twenty-two months alone is sufficient to support a termination of parental rights when in the best interest of the children
