Why do you have custody? Certainly if their parents are completely out of the picture you should be able to adopt them. Otherwise you would need the permission of any remaining parent.

Then I see no reason why you two shouldnt be able to adopt them as long as you have shown during this time that you are fit to do so and financially able. Have you consulted a lawyer? Good luck and God Bless you for stepping up and taking care of your family. It sounds as if they are blessed to have u in there lives.
