On the balance of probabilities the welfare and long-term interests of the child dictated placement with her biological father: there was insufficient, current and cogent evidence to establish the Applicant as a present drug user or unfit parent; the Letter of Assurance did not extinguish the father's custodial rights; the grandparents' advanced age and the father's capacity and supportive spouse favor transfer of sole custody, while preserving reasonable access to grandparents.
