Can your mom make you put the baby up for adoption?

In almost all states the answer is no, a parent cannot force their pregnant teen into adoption. However, the teen is 100% responsible for the child, in all respects including financially. In some states becoming a parent makes the teen a " legal adult" which means the teen's parents no longer have to support her or her child.
