Question if i am thirteen and pregnant do my parents have the legal right to decided to put my child up for adoption or do i have a say so in the decision?
Answer Dear Brandy,
You would have to sign the adoption papers yourself in order to put your child up for adoption. If you do not sign them, the adoption cannot go through.
Do you want to talk a little bit about what is going on? If you do, write back.
