Sponsering a child to live with us in the uk

[Happily Married]

Hi my husband and i want to sponsor his 2nd cousin to come and live with us in the uk, shes very clever and would have more opportunities in her life over here, but shes only 11. Does anyone know the ins and outs of bringing her here? also what do we have to show we have and can do for her to be able to come here. Thanks

probably the only way i think is adoption and i don't think that would be easy at all :NoNo:

if not adoption, then i doubt you could bring a cousin here unless it was in exceptional compassionate circumstances :NoNo:

There are probably several million second cousins wanting a better life in this country. :)
