Pennsylvania, and Petitioners, LENA S. HOOVER and HARVEY R. HOOVER, (Hereinafter
referred to as "Caretakers"), of Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania;
.
WHEREAS, Mother is the natural parent of a minor child, namely,
Alexis Marie Webb, date of birth, September 30,2005.
WHEREAS, Mother and Caretakers have reached an agreement relative to the future care,
custody, and visitation of the child, the terms of which agreement both parties desire to set forth in
the present Stipulation and Custody Agreement, and;
WHEREAS, Mother and Caretakers desire the provisions of the present Stipulation and
Custody Agreement be approved by the Honorable Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, and entered as a Court Order, with the same force and effect as though said
Order had been entered after Petition, Notice and Hearing.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in consideration of the
mutual promises and agreements contained herein, hereby agree as follows:
1. Letal Custody. Mother is currently unable to take physical custody of the child, Alexis
Marie Webb, due to being incarcerated. The whereabouts of father are unknown. Mother agrees
that Caretakers, Lena S. Hoover and Harvey R. Hoover, shall share legal custody and as well as
physical custody of the child. Mother agrees that such custody shall not be temporary.
Mother agrees that this custody may extend indefinitely or permanently. Both parties
understand that a custody order can be changed by mutual agreement, or petition and
subsequent Order of court.
Legal custody means the right to control and share in making of decisions of importance in
the life of their children, including educational, medical, and religious decisions. Caretakers shall
provide Mother with the child's school, medical, dental, and other important records upon her
request. Caretakers will provide Mother at all times with their current telephone number and

and subsequent Order of court. Mother is currently incarcerated in Philadelphia County,
Pennsylvania. It is'hereby agreed and stipulated between the parties as follows:
a. During her period of incarceration, Mother may request that Caretakers visit with
the child, during permissible visiting hours. If Caretakers are able to reasonably
provide such visit, taking into considerations such as such as health and age of the
child, transportation arrangements and cost and Caretakers feel that such visit is in
the best interest of the child, they will bring the child to the prison to visit with
Mother.
b. Once Mother is released, she may request a visit with the child at Caretakers'
home, or a period of partial custody with the child at any residence at which she or a
relative may reside. Caretakers will provide such visit if they feel satisfied that
such a visit would be in the best interest of the child, and that Mother is able to
adequately provide for the health, welfare, and safety of the child. The parties will
make efforts to mutually agree on the exact terms of the visit once requested. Once
a visit is arranged, Mother will provide a telephone number and address where the
child would be staying during any visit or period of partial custody. The parties will
cooperate in sharing transportation.
c. If any party is not satisfied with the terms of this stipulation and agreement and
subsequent order, they may petition the court for a modification of the Order.
d; Under all circumstances, the parties shall take into account the best interests of
the child when making decisions under this agreement.
