I would like to say that the son would be allowed to 'adopt' the daughter since technically he is her brother. He would be of age, would he have a means of supporting her? Usually they look at the stability of the household and means of support, financially and if their would be any other relatives to take her in. Relatives being related to her adopted parents.
Even if he is 'disturbed' as long as he isn't seen as a danger to the child or to the others around him, they would look the other way. If you really want the daughter to be taken away, just play up on his mental unbalances and the danger he does/could present to her.
