yes, under the specified relative rule. Department of family and children services will give beneifts to the child's blood relative without proof of legal custody or legal guardianship.

If you locate your child and have them back in your home, office of child support will still sue you until the relative closes it's welfare case.

How can you become a legal guardian for a child who is a relative that was born and living in Africa while he is visiting here in America for 6 months?
you could get his legal gaurdian[s] to sign a legal contract stating that the child is yours by law for only the six months that he is staying here in america A Differing View: I read into your question the meaning that you wish to keep him here in the U.S. and become the child's legal guardian. If THAT is the case, I seriously doubt that scenario will come to pass. The child is a citrizen of a foreign country and cannot legally enter the US under the sham of a 'guardianship' without going through the immigration process.
