Im 14 and I got my girlfriend pregnant. She wants to give the baby up for adoption and her parents know. Do I have to tell my parents before I sign over my rights or do they have to know?
Your parents are not involved in the legal process of an adoption. This is 100% your decision. Therefore, their involvement with your adoption plan is completely up to you. Q: I was with a girl who recently gave birth to a child, who I just found out is not mine. Although I am not the baby’s birth father, my name is on the birth certificate. Does this mean that I still have a say so in giving the baby up for adoption? A: The birth mother has legal rights to the child. You would not be able to place the child for adoption without the mother’s consent. Furthermore, the biological father would need to consent. If you feel the child is in danger, you need to report the case to Child Protective Services and they can assess the situation. Q: If I, the birth father, don’t sign over my rights then what happens in this case. Please explain this to me. A: Every case is so different because the laws surrounding a birth father’s rights are different in each state.
