facts would be allowed and excepted by the court making fine has mr alvarez also talked about the mental health assessment that was done on october tenth one in that appointment you need to be there to ten o'clock her position was that she was working in the fast food place that there was no way with that sort of lack of advance notice that she could take has the paperwork twenty fifteen it was noted that she had been attending all of the medical point so she corrected that situation as mr alvarez argued with regard to this is the videos show they're obviously happy to see their parents so naturally it was going to be chaotic on the part of kids with it but several of the supervisors of visitation over the interaction was with regard to best interest it's clear that we have two people who truly love and love their children and want them back seems like such a extreme result to say you're losing your five yea present time they're with the foster parents all of that time they see their parents sometimes one hour a week if that so it's only natural the children are going to bond with the foster parents living off what the state will pay for them having these four children in their home they also live a block away from my client and her husband my client in residence see the kids on a regular basis they walk by on their way to school they run into that grocery store focus travel as i feel that it's going to be difficult for them to have stability when their parents are right down the road and they're going we talked about the visits had gone well we had the testimony of two friends of the cole that said they were good parents had a loving relationship with their children definitely love their children there was no drug or there's no evidence of domestic violence house while maybe subjectively not what we would think its claim has met minimal standards with regard to the issue about restricting entry to the home you know the so as far as best interests it's our position the best interests would be for the court to return these children to their parents give them the opportunity to love their kids and do what's best for them  prove that they can summarize this is the manifest weight of the evidence standard for both issues it's very difficult standard meet the intent of the stipulation was to have these facts accepted and because the overall ratings for the s plans for the nine month periods were unsuccessful that does constitute sufficient evidence as the trial court found of the lack of reasonable progress towards return of the children result progress been an objective test the fact that the the respondent mother has a mental health assessment showing a low intelligence the fact she has a hearing impairment those are unfortunate but because that the objective test takes into account whether there is sufficient progress towards demonstrably movement towards return of the children such that they could be ordered returned to them in the in the near future it does not take into account the limitations of the parent that's just simply unfortunate for the parent because no matter who they are or what their limitations are there has to be reasonable progress courting the standard of what the statute says and it ends there has to be done in certain amount of time and the time frames w and is failing to cooperate with investigators such as line and to their home now one thing that the respondent mother's attorney says today is that while there's explanations for these things well if that comes  like it did here in the best interest hearing where the respondent mother finally testifies and tries to explain some of these feelings that's something this court should consider can consider for purposes of deciding whether to reverse the finding of unfit because the standard hispanic fest weight of the evidence evidence heard at the hearing with respect to the issue the ruling the decision that was made with respect fitness that's what's being challenged on the first issue and that is the evidence has to be considered and evidence that was submitted only at the hearing on best interests is not to be considered and is not providing a basis for evidence was an offer of the first portion of her testimony was not offered and told th best interest hearing my understanding of the record so with respect to that she cannot controvert the facts that she stipulated to and said that she wanted those to be accepted by the trial court when ruling on her sentence and then have this court look at her best interest hearing testimony and try to controvert facts that she stipulated at the hearing on that is so that would be inappropriate to reverse on that grounds on the basis of what she testified to and only her hearing some  for the younger children emphasize the attachments that they had because something limited amount of time they had with the responding father and the much greater time during the long pendency of this case that they had with the foster parents so naturally their attachments were very very strong for the foster parents and much and less so for the the natural mother the respondent mother so there is like for example they're not upset at the end of the visit that something that shows that it would not be detrimental to remove them and terminate the kernel rights as if they had been emotionally and as fact that by germination of the visit for example that would be an indication of what it would be like for them to have their rights terminated because of course this isn't a unique situation for girls are they are with a aunts so they would get to see and live close and they do get to see responded mother on a relatively frequent basis and that is something that the childcare can determine is not detrimental to the welfare system it's perhaps a benefit for respondent mother that she still has that limited amount of contact because technically terminated parents she has a stranger to her children but now she she always has that because they are placed with her sister the there are no concerns about the foster homes they're going to adopt the foster parents are and they can provide complete support who are the for their special needs and so for those reasons the the the best interest report and recommendations the guardian ad litem in the favor of termination of
