Parents cannot "give" a child to someone. All parties must follow the required adoption or guardianship procedures according to the laws of the state and through the appropriate state court. Taking arbitrary action concerning the custody of a minor child can create serious legal complications and potential criminal charges and other penalties for all parties involved. In such cases all participants are required to retain legal counsel. In most cases the court will appoint a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the child's best interest.
