Legal question concerning adoption of sister in laws children. Not sure on what type of lawyer we need.?

Question

Ok, here is the situation. My sister in law came here to the U.S. with her two children after marrying this guy. This guy basically wanted a slave, and not a wife so she left him. She and the kids are here on conditional visas. She now wants to be independent, and go work in California (We're in FL). She wants to leave the children with us (2 girls, 3yrold, and 11 yr old). We are fine with this, but I know we'll need some kind of legal guardianship of the children. Since the children are here on immigrant visa do we an immigration lawyer or could another lkind of aywer do this for us?
