Adoption Laws: Can a Minor Consent to Baby Adoption in the US?
No, a parent cannot make a 13 year old give their baby up for adoption. In the United States, a person must be at least 18 years old to consent to the adoption of their own child. If a 13 year old becomes pregnant, the decision to place the child for adoption must be made by the child's parents or legal guardians.Baby Health - Related Articles
