It's much easier to say this when I'm on the outside - but I'd not worry too much. You never know if this cousin will really follow through with everything that would need to be done for the child to be placed. He may not even want the child but simply agreed or told the father that he would take her because he felt he "should" and you'll see as time goes on if he really wants her or not.
Also - after not being around for 3 years I'm sure someone else will point that out.
Ask questions, play devil's advocate, and wait... I know it's hard.
