Peter, I am afraid that you may not be able to adopt your niece. The law requires that the adoptees refer to kids who lost their parents when they were younger than 14 or were abandoned by their parents. If parents are unable to raise their kids, their kids can become the adoptees. Here "incapble parents" refer to those who suffer from serious illnesses or handicapped.

Therefore, I don't think your niece meets the requirements.
