It would best for you to apply for a Special Guardianship Order. Adoption would mean you effectively become your sister's 'parent', but with SGO you would get parental responsibility but continue to be her sister. Social services should go through all of this with you and help you through the process as long as there isn't anyone else in the family who they think would be more suitable to care for her.
