In almost every state, when a minor has a child, it immediately emancipates the minor, making them a legal adult. This young lady, unless she has made other arrangements, has full legal custody of her child. As such, she is the only one who can voluntarily terminate her parental rights and place her child with adoptive parents.

You should consult with your attorney regarding the laws in your particular state.

Best,

Regina
