Understand your problem. But you posted on the wrong forum, this should be on visa's and migration to other countries.

Lots of help on that forum for your problem.

Steve,

Based upon my understanding that your wife is now a British citizen, she may sponsor her niece to settle in the UK. However, it is not going to be at all straightforward.

You will have to demonstrate that the niece's circumstances are exceptional and compelling. Simply because the natural mother has abdicated responsibility does not mean that another person must pick up the tab. If her grandmother is unable to take care of her, verifiable medical evidence will need to be provided.
