Can you legally adopt a sibling’s child?
If your sibling was willing to relinquish their parental rights (other parent is not in the picture), would it be possible for you to legally adopt your niece/nephew as your own if you were financially able to do so and willing to take care of all expenses? What would be the process for an adoption like that? Also would there be any violation if the sibling that gave up their child was still involved in the family just not as the child’s parent?

Yes, it's possible to adopt your niece or nephew, but it's not a DIY project. Since adoption laws vary from state to state, you'll need a lawyer who can make sure you do the adoption properly according to the laws of your own state.
Yes, that's not uncommon at all. In a private adoption, you would need a lawyer for both parties, and a home study for the adopting family.
There is nothing illegal about ongoing original parent contact in an adoption situation.

It's called a parental placement adoption or relative placement adoption, and it's standard stuff. Process: read the adoption part of your state code and do what it says.
Yes, that is QUITE legal, and preferred.
Pay enough money, anything is possible
My cousins grandparents adopted them. The oldest first when his parents were alive and the other three when the father went to prison and the mother passed away. I don’t see why it would be an issue if one of them was adopted when she was alive. It shouldn’t make a difference
