i have no easy answers but I'd think you would have to call your local DSS/DYFS and explain the situation. You would probably be considered a kinship placement.

You can ask to be considered as kinship reference

I adopted my cousin's son's sister (same mom, no blood to me) as a kinship. Many extenuating circumstances, but thats the long and the short of it

if you are serious but adopting, you need to contact DSS asap. Then keep hounding them

Don't wait until they know if they will get them back or not. If you want to adopt them, contact DCFS asap. The social workers may be working on an adoption plan already (concurrent planning). If you wait, they may have already picked adoptive parents for the child.

they want me to wait and see what happens first as they think thers a good chance they will get them back and if they do not and ther is a adoption plan going though it will be bad for them but its up to them not me, i have always wanted to adopt as well as having birth children so i will upset if i cant adopt them,thank you for your help
