Recommended: Characteristics of an ideal parent

This letter to will assist you in determining the best long-term parenting solution for Bella and Dante Martin. It is my understanding that Eric and Elizabeth Martinez are requesting permanent custody, specifically as adoptive parents. The ideal candidates are Eric and Elizabeth. They possess requisite attributes of character, family history, community service, and provide a family home that is healthy, safe, and loving. Furthermore, they are diligent in their pursuit to instill character and uncompromising values, and provide all essential resources to afford their children opportunities for life-long advancement and personal growth. First, it is imperative to understand the history regarding Bella and Dante’s relationship with Eric and Elizabeth. In November of 2008, Eric and Elizabeth (as foster parents) received Bella and Dante, at the tender age of two months, in their home because of alleged child abuse (severe injuries to bone and brain trauma). Throughout the prior year, Eric and Elizabeth dedicated a tremendous amount of time and effort assisting these children with medical and rehabilitation services. In addition, recovery is progressing at an accelerated pace and acclimation to the family and home is complete. Further consideration of Eric Elizabeth’s capacity is their obligation to the assurance of education attainment and firm belief that quality education is an important component for a child’s future. Unfortunately, Eric and Elizabeth were unable to pursue post-secondary education immediately after high school. However, after struggling in the job market, Eric pursued acquiring a degree in health care. He obtained the degree while maintaining full-time employment without compromising family responsibilities.... ... middle of paper ... ...ve them. Finally, based on my knowledge and understanding of Eric and Elizabeth Martinez, I am certain a loving home and this family is the best long-term solution for parenting for Bella and Dante. Their history and actions define their character and moral values, and their commitment to their children’s future is beyond reproach. In summary, Eric and Elizabeth: provide a loving home and family life that is supportive of personal growth; actively participate, contribute and encourage education attainment to assure a positive future for their children; and are committed to community service and volunteerism – a wonderful example for their children to respect and understand the value of caring. Based on this information, I must consider that Bella and Dante are indeed fortunate to have an opportunity of acceptance and inclusion to this wonderful family and home.

    The family dynamics of the household changed throughout the years of Dominic’s childhood. When Dominic was born, we lived in a rural neighborhood apartment that was not completely safe (My Virtual Child). Once Dominic’s sister Alexandra was born, we began saving more money and purchased a house in a safe rural neighborhood.

Both families seem independent in taking care of themselves and their children and using their own means to do this. The Angelinos family will be able to provide a safe, loving home with many brothers and sisters. Life will be simple and hopefully happy. The Taylor's child will be exposed to more worldly environments with friends where the Angelino family will probably not be exposed to many individuals outside of the family. The Taylor family values education more and that child will more likely go to college where the Angelino family may not encourage the children to attend college, but instead do work around the house for the

According to Sanders, employing parents fostered two results. She writes, “[first], parental involvement helped to build trust and respect between children and their families. Second, Head Start employment helped many parents to work their way out of poverty, ensuring that their children had brighter futures,” (2016, p. 37). In having a clear vision of what “good education” is and what the results of a “good education” should be, CDGM was able to expand their conception of what school can and should address.
