   court  shall consider all relevant factors, including the child's age,      
   the circumstances of  the  transfer  to  the  nonparental  petitioners      
   including  any  conditions  placed on the transfer by the transferring      
   parent, the integration of the  child  into  the  petitioner's  family      
   setting,  whether  either  parent  voluntarily  relinquished  custody,      
   whether  the  father's  paternity  has  been  established,  and  other      
   factors, with the weight of each factor to be determined by the court,      
   and the basis for granting or denying standing included in the court's
