You can attempt through court, however, was your mother married and was there two people that adopted the child?

| | | | you are the child's sister not her mother
legally, you are her sister, not her birth mother.if your mom and her spouse adopted the child, and her spouse is still living, legally her spouse is the child's father, and would have a right to custody |
