Can I be counted as the source of financial stability for an emancipated minor?

I am trying to help a friend of mine, who is currently living in an abusive home, get emancipated. I know that one of the criteria is to show that the minor in question is capable of financially supporting themself, but we would like to get them out of their current home as quickly as possible. I would be completely willing and able to house the minor in question, and provide the financial resources for them to live outside of their current home. Is there any way for the "financial stability" criteria to be met by my means? I do not qualify to actually adopt the minor in question, due to not quite being 10 years older than them, but I have a history of working with children as part of my employment as a youth soccer referee and a day care worker, if that helps my eligibility any. I would also be willing to take on legal responsibility for them if that's possible without adoption, or if there's a way for me to actually adopt them by working around the laws.
