Generally no; you must be self sufficient with ample life experience to properly nurture a child in order to be allowed to adopt.

speculation: in some jurisdictions it may be possible to do a step parent adoption at 17.

A few states permit minors to adopt only under specific circumstances. If the minor is the spouse of an adult who is trying to adopt, then the minor may be allowed to adopt as well because states usually require both spouses to adopt together. You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction.

No. Your not old enough to. Besides, it takes a mother and father to raise a child. Wait until your 18, when your an adult.

Yes but the father of the baby have to agree to it too. The parents of the baby are the only ones who can decide this. They have the same rights to their baby as adult parents.

No, a 15 year old cannot date a 25 year old legally in Massachusetts because the 15 year old is a minor, while the 25 year old is an adult and if the parents of the 15 year old found out they could charge the 25 year old with 'Statutory Rape' or have a restraining order put on them at the very least.
