First off, I am from the state of Virginia, now onto my problem.
Recently social services have decided that my mother was not capable of taking care of my younger brother and sister for some reason (they're 14 and 16 respectively), that can be acredited to her mental disorders (which she's been going to therapy and seeing a doctor for the past 6-7 years). As untrue as their reasons were, they took my brother out of school and came to the house to take my sister. They came in with a police officier and did a once over of our home looking for her (to no avail). They then proceeded to ask where she was, we refused/didn't/wouldn't tell them.
There's a short background story. What I want to know is what I would have to go through to adopt/become my younger siblings legal guardian (I'm 22 years of age), and how difficult it would be or what other options (if any) that I may have available.Thank you for your time reading this and any replies in advance.
