I have been caring for my cousin for the past year and a half. It's a long and very confusing story. I've had to potty train him, feed him, get him to school, teach him manners, and pretty much be his parent. I live several states away and would like to know can I get full custody of him? His mother hasn't visited since he came here, nor anyone else. I'm nineteen and he is five. While this is a not a big age difference, will this count against me in court? I don't want to fight to adopt, if it risks loosing him. I already have a clean, loving, and supportive home but what other legal ramifications are there?
