My mother went off with this boyfriend of hers and my father was left alone with them and he has been very neglectful of them. One of my sisters has Cystic Fibrosis and he's been smoking around her and he hasn't been attending to her medical care right. He just hasn't been paying much attention to their needs at all because he's been so wraped up in his own issues. He even gets mad and has hit them. I took them over to my place for now, but is it possible for me to keep them permanently? They're 6 and 15. I'm 25. I know how to care for them. We live in New York, I'm a nurse. They want to be with me.
 
Well taking into consideration that you are 25 and they are at an age where they are still considered minors, assuming you do not have a criminal record, it certainly is possible - but I tell you now, it is not going to be a quick or easy process. Especially if your mother objects. You may also be asked to prove your allegations that your sisters would benefit from being in your care in comparison to your fathers. Good luck.
