Re: guardianship of child
You do not want "guardianship".
You want the sister to become her conservator.
Dad would have to be notified. If you can't find him, then it would be through publication. Publication costs more and is a pain but it can be done.
Since you agree to let the sister have custody and the sister agrees to custody, it will be pretty easy. If Dad agrees to, it could be done very quickly -- there is no waiting period for a change of custody if EVERYONE agrees!
