If you care about the future of your baby, it would be best to follow your parents advice. 1. Do you honestly think that you can provide for the educational and financial needs of a child? It costs a lot of money to raise a child and let's face it, you still don't have the resources to do that on your own. What skill do you have that will make employers want to beat down the door to hire you so that you can provide for your child. Do you have enough education that you will be able to give your child the emotional stimulation that he needs when he starts attending some of the AP classes in highschool? It's quite natural to believe that a mothers love is all that the child will need. But the truth is, at some level the child will resent you for being poor and un-educated. You aren't doing him any favors by keeping him and raising him as a single mother. 2. Think about the challanges to YOU as a single mother. What kind of future do you expect? I'm sure your parents will help where they can but it's a big burden and more than a reasonable person would expect of someone else. The advice of your parents is good, even though it may seem like a difficult thing to do right now. In the long run it will be best for both you and your child. No, a mother who is of minor age, is presumed by law to have the same rights as a mother who is considered an adult. The young lady cannot be forced to place her child for adoption, have an abortion, or sign over custodial rights. If she does not have the support of her family or others, she can petition the court for emancipation rights. The court will grant said petition for the purpose of allowing the young lady to receive any needed assistance such as Medicaid. The following agencies can supply information and assistance if it is needed; Birthright, 1-800-550-4900, http://www.birthright.org and Planned Parenthood 1-800230-7526, www.http://www.plannedparenthood.org. No they cannot, but they can refuse to pay for it. As long as you do not sign any papers they cannot make you give it up. No, a minor is presumed by law to have the same rights to her child as would an adult mother. A minor's parents cannot force her to place her child for adoption, have an abortion or sign over custodial rights to anyone else. For counseling and assistance visit Birthright, http://www.birthright.org or call toll free, 1-800-550-4900. No. It is your baby and your decision. You may consider it for the baby's sake, but it is totally up to you. No one can sign the adoption papers except you and the natural father. No. If you are pregnant your parents can not force you to indanger your child. They might tell you or try to convince you but You and your baby's health is your choice.

No. even if you are under the AGE of 18 YOU are still the legal guardian to this child. You cannot be forced to give your child up, nor can anyone else make the decision for you, UNLESS you are mentally unstable or will have your child at risk. then the child CAN be taken. But I must say, if you ARE under 18, you have to think of the best interest of this child. can you financially take care of this child.(VERY VERY VERY expensive) Will this babys father be there? could you give this child everything it needed? If there were any types of health problems with this child could you pay medical expenses and emotionally handle it? You have to look at the whole aspect of the situation. and if you are unsure about any answers to the previous questions then it would not hurt to look into adoption. There are sooo many(married, stable) families out there that would love to have a child but couldnt. And if you are not ready for a child, you could give the greatest gift to a family... a child... But good luck, and i hope i have helped!

No. I am under 18 and am pregnant. I have decided to give my baby a better home through adoption. However, it is MY decision. You guardians cannot make you do it. YOU are the one who signs the adoption papers and has the right over your child. Also, in many states if you are under the age of 18, and you are pregnant and unmarried, you're considered the only legal parent of the child. The birthfather only has rights if he supports you and somehow contributes to the baby or you during your pregnancy.

Your guardian may not be able to make the call, but if you are unable to provide or care for the child or fail to properly care for your child or if you are in currently in legal trouble (especially violence or drugs) the child may be taken by CPS after he/she is born.

I don't think so - but this is a very sensitive subject so I think you need to seek proper professional help. Also perhaps try talking to your parents if the situation allows for that. Take Care.

Legally you can not force your child to give up the custody. They are the guardian of their child and not you, no matter how old they are.

no they cant, but if your having a good relationship you could get married with the person all you need is a doctors note saying your pregnant and you could get married without parent permision in Maryland. I know this because when i was 16 years of age the same thing happen to me and i wanted to know too but i found out about that and i got married. Anyways no they cant make you put the baby for adoption anywhere in the usa without your permission if you want or not.

No they can not. In the case of being a minor parent the minors have the same rights as adults to decide.

No, they can not legally force you to give up a child for adoption and neither can they force you to have or not to have an abortion.
