Syllabus

Termination of parental rights; plain error; limited review; failure to object to magistrate's decision; failure to provide transcripts for juvenile court's review. Judgments affirmed. Mother failed to object to the magistrate's decisions recommending permanent custody of the children be given to the Agency. Mother also failed to file the transcripts in the juvenile and therefore, although she has made them part of the appellate record, we are precluded from reviewing them. Our review is limited and for plain error. We find no error, plain or otherwise, in the trial court's judgments granting the Agency's motion for permanent custody. The record demonstrates that both prongs required for an agency to be granted permanent custody were met.
