HB 369 changes TPR appeals from direct to discretionary starting January 1, 2008.
http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2007_08/fulltext/hb369.htm

(11) Appeals from decisions of the state courts reviewing decisions of the magistrate courts by de novo proceedings so long as the subject matter is not otherwise subject to a right of direct appeal; and
(12) Appeals from orders terminating parental rights."
