In our experience, as long as the bio mom or dad's rights have not been terminated, then the relatives are the first choice for adoptive placement. Once the parental rights are terminated, then the bio families lose their status. Let her social worker know that you want her, in writing by certified letter. Then they have to look at you before placing in a non-relative home. They have to do a homestudy for you. If they drag their feet, you will have a court case as you expressed interest prior to termination of parental rights. If you can afford a lawyer, that may help. If you are in the same state, that helps also. Best wishes and good luck.
