you become a child's legal guardian in cases for example if the parents can't look after their child for any reason they have appointed you!

(1) if the child's parents have died and they have left in their will that you will be the child's legal guardian (you have to approve this ) you could also be the child's emergency guardian until the will is read out this can change if you have started for example you have started having health matters since the will has been drawn up then this could come into question the child's welfare is very important .

(2) when you want to adopt the child that's been in your care you will need to go throught the right channels what is considered is how you and the child get on are you giving the child the right upbringing remember the child's welfare always comes first you will stand a good chance seen as the child knows you and they will have come to love you like you were their own parent/s it would be very difficult to deny you from adopting any child that's legally in your care unless there are underlying issues in the household

i am not a judge in a court

you would be asked why you want to adopt the child and if for example if you don't already have children when you do have them how will that effect the child you want to adopt IE would you still love and care for this child as much as your own.

a judge isn't always easy going but these issues do arise

also if you are a single person and you suddenly meet a man/woman what affect would that have on the child would the child still come first? everything comes into question

i am not questioning your abilities as a parent or legal guardian but you would have to prepare yourself for some questions like this

hope this has answered your question
