Plaintiffs have no information of a custody proceeding con-
cerning the child pending in a court of this Commonwealth.
Plaintiffs do not know of a person not a party to the pro-
ceedings who has physical custody of the child or claims to have
custody or visitation rights with respect to the child.
7. The best interest and permanent welfare of the child
will be served by granting the relief requested for the following
reasons:
a. Defendant Englert has not had contact with the child for
several years and has shown no interest in obtaining custody;
b. Defendant Hempstead-Griggs voluntarily relinquished
custody to Plaintiffs on December 14, 1994, where he has lived
since;
c. Defendant Hempstead-Griggs previously attempted to place
the child with relatives but was unsuccessful;
d, Plaintiffs believe and therefore aver that Defendant
Hempstead-Griggs previously abandoned the child and her other
children on or about January 30, 1994 without providing informa-
tion as to her whereabouts;
e. Plaintiffs believe and therefore aver that Defendant
Hempstead-Griggs has punched the child in his chest and forceful-
ly grabbed him by the back of his neck thereby placing him in
fear of imminent bodily injury;
f. Defendant Hempstead has failed to demonstrate the stabil-
ity necessary to raise a teenage son;
g. Plaintiffs have offered to the child a stable environment
with peers within the household to act as proper role models; and
