It is possible, but she would have to petition the court with jurisdiction for custody modification. Then she and her cousin would have to appear before the judge in a court hearing, explaining why the mother wishes to do this, whether or not there are any objections to the action from the father or any other individual with guardianship rights and then the judge would decide if it would be in the child's best interests to grant such an arrangement.

What happens if you get married to an American man and you want to bring your daughter to live with you?

that depends on if the mother has custody over her daughter or not. It also depends on how old the daughter is. If she is under the legal age limit, then the mother is still responsible and makes all decisions for her. If the mother does not have full custody over the daughter, then the mother and the father of that child must come to an agreement on the living whereabouts of the daughter. If the mother has legal custody over the daughter and the daughter is not of legal age yet, then yes, the mother can bring the daughter over too.
