Can immigrants adopt a child?
ok my uncle and aunt are immigrants in the USA and im a citizen and well both my parents died in an accident last month and im in custody of my sick (has at least (6 months to a year the doc said) grandmother and the only family i have left are my uncle and aunt and they want me but dont know if they can i have other family somewhere in new york but dont know where we've been looking for them but nothing yet some in Hawaii but they cant take care of me?
- they've been here for at least 30 years they have son of 16 years of age born here (there located in Cali)

And wanted to know if my only hope of family can adopt me or get me in some way without them getting deported or etc.? (although if they were to get deported by the law of immigration one has the rights to say with the 16year old)

Legal immigrants, yes... Best of luck to you my friend. And my condolences on your loss. I feel for you deeply and you're in my prayers.
