Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

adopting my granddaughter

I live in connecticut. My daughter has a drug problem and dcf gave custody of her daughter to my other daughter. She now wants to adopt my grandchild but since we already have custody of her 2 sisters we would also like to be able to adopt her. Do we have any legal right to also petition the court to be able to adopt my granddaughter?
