Can a parent sign over rights to their child that is in CPS custody to another person?

right now a boy that we helped got taken by CPS because the parents did not want him to go home. I could not take him because I have a small three bedroom that all rooms were taken. My sister however heard about this young man and wants to help him. CPS is retarted sometimes, so I talked to his family.. they would like to let the boy come stay with us.. also thinking about signing over rights. If we did this, can we do it without going through cps? And where would the boy go after all rights to him were signed over?? Would cps have to release him to us???

    If the CPS have him his parents do not have any of their rights atm, the state does. Your sister can contact his case worker, his family should know who that is, and apply to be his foster family. You have to go through the CPS. They are the ones deciding if the family he comes to are suitable.
