I am her legal guardian (her parents are both deceased) and was wondering how to go about it? And is it true that it is easier to adopt a relative?

The rules and regulations regarding adoption are different for every state so contacting a state agency is the first step. You may also want to contact an attorney who is familiar with adoption laws in your state.
