I'm actually going through the same exact thing right now. I'm in the process of trying to get custody of my 14month old nephew who is in foster care. I called the social worker who is working his case and told her I was interested in having him placed with me. She took all of my information down and told me she would go through her steps to see if he can be placed with me. He is in Washington state and i am in South Carolina so the social worker in WA had to get with the social workers here to do a home study on me (where they come to your house and inspect your living conditions and what not) and they also had to do a backround check. Once all that is approved it goes back to the social worker dealing with the child and I'm not really sure what happens after that, havent got that far yet. But I will tell you that this is a very SLOW and long process. I've been working with this for almost 5 months now and im sure I have a few more to go before my nephew lives with me. So first step is to get in contact with his social worker. If you don't know the person name call the child protective services in the child's area and give them his name and that should help. hope this helped you. Stay patient and persistant with them!! GOOD LUCK!!!
