Can you give your baby up for adoption at 17

Question

cuz my aunty wants to adopt it but were tryna figure out if she can

Answer 1

17 is a pretty old baby. Maybe you should just let him/her make up their own mind.

Answer 2

I would not go threw a adoption place just to let your aunt adopt it.

You can go threw court, its way easier.

They will just be grandad Legal custody.

Answer 3

i hate it when teenagers have kids and then give it to their family...

Seriously, give it away to someone else.

Hug your Aunt and sign the papers.

She can and you can.  It happens all of the time.  But really think about it, okay?  My heart hurts for all of the first moms here that wish they hadn't given their child up for adoption.

Answer 13

you can give your baby up at any age, but don't let your aunt adopt it, it would be very awkward between you and the baby when it grows up.  

Answer 14

Yes you could but i don't know why cause to me all babies are beautiful

Answer 15

Yes you can give a baby up for adoption at any age, and now they made it easy all you have to do is take it to the hospital drop it off and there wont be any ?s it is legal. or if your still pregnant let your health care provider know and they can get you advice on adoption agents

Answer 16

yes you can. you can put a baby up for adoption at any time i think. I was adopted at 7 months but my adoptive parents who i am with now found out they were getting me when i wasl ike 3 months old but i had to stay longer because i was premature and i was very very light and i needed to be heavier to come to america. lol :) i'm from south korea :)

Answer 17

Um. yah.

Answer 18

yes you can give you re baby up for adoption at any age . just make sure you think about it hard first its not going to be easy . i was adopted when i was only a few weeks old .

Answer 19

Yes. It amazes me why people do this. Haven't they ever heard of birth control? I mean - really..... people have kids after kids and don't want them. What's up with that???

Answer 20

Yes you can - but just be very very aware of your rights - and know that it's not as easy as in the movies - this child will always be a part of you.

Make sure you read this -

http://www.cubirthparents.org/booklet.pd...

Adoption is a long term solution to an often short term problem.

You won't be young forever - and you will miss this child.

Can your Aunt help you to parent - help you stay with your child??

Just a thought.

What any baby really needs - is his/her own mother to love and care for him/her. They grow in you for 9 months - they already know you.

I wish you and your babe all the best.

I've lived adoption for 39 yrs - and I've missed my mother every day of my life.

Answer 21

yes many teens find this to be the right thing to do when faced with an unwanted pregnancy. its a good choice.  

Answer 22

sure can. My mom gave me to her parents and everything worked out fine. I'm sure giving the baby to your aunt will be just fine. He or she will get a chance to know you if you choose them to. Good luck  

Answer 23

Yes.  

Answer 24

YES DEFF.

Answer 25

Yes you get an attorney that handles adoptions and start the process and you and the baby's father sign the papers and the adoption can be done.  

Answer 26

Yes but make sure that's really what you want before things are set into stone and you have regrets

Answer 27

yes, please give your child a good home.  

Answer 28

It doesn't matter how old you are, you can always give a child up for adoption. Which by the way I commend you on doing because it takes a very brave person to do so. You can do it privately and yes she can

Answer 29

yes your aunt can if that what you want

Answer 30

Anyone can give their baby up at any age.  Adopting a child is a lot more involved.
