No one can ever make you give up your baby, it is your baby. Just as long as you have money to support the baby and a safe home. show them that you have help and that your baby will be safe. don't forget it takes two to make a baby. If the father is involved make sure he's there for the both of you. K

Unfortunately they can't take it away, unless you're deemed to be a risk to the child. But they should, seeing as the majority of teen mothers won't be able to support their baby without scrounging off government benefits.

( you might have a medical condition, disease, be on drugs, exessive amount of drinking, ect) then they can take your baby away from you

im a teen mother. im 17 and my baby boy is 3 weeks old. I talked to a lawyer and he said that I am leagally respaonsible for my baby. no one has any rights to him but me. any girl who has a baby, teen or adult, no one can take it unless there is a good reason. you will be considered an adult when you have a baby as a teen. thats what my lawyer said. thats the law here in louisiana. I dont know what it is in other states. oh my baby's name s carson. happy hes the greatest thing in the world. youre the bab's mother. not any one else.
