The court will require that both biological parents be in agreement to relinquishing custodial rights to a qualified related person. In some cases (such as military deployment) the court will accept a signed and witnessed affidavit by the non present parent.
A parent(s) cannot arbitrarily consent to permanent custody of a minor child to a relative, family friend, etc. Temporary custody (generally 90 days or less) can be done legally as long as the proper procedures are followed. The prescribed court procedures for the state in which the minor child resides must be followed if the minor child is to be permanently removed from parental custody. If such action is granted by the court the biological parent(s) may still be required to pay child support, obtain medical insurance and other financial needs of the child.

∙ 9y agoA noncustodial parent cannot sign his rights over to his parents or voluntarily terminate his parental rights. He needs the permission of the court and the custodial parent.

If you are not the child's parent, you do not have priority in a custody dispute with a biological parent. If the custodial parent is unfit and this is proven by CPS, the child can be awarded to another family member. But since you are not related to the child and are not his parent, you don't have any rights.
