Probably not. You are very young to take on the responsibilities requ9ired. Being out of state is another problem as well. Support them in other ways and try to be in their lives without custody.
I agree with Mr. Wagner. However, you do not state how old the siblings are. This could make a difference in enabling the family to stay together. He would have to have a solid job with sufficient income to provide for them. He would also have to have a track record of responsibility. Having said this you can see it would be difficult at your ages to do. Staying in touch with them is good advice and knowing where they are is helpful.
