Slavery was abolished during the Civil War. A mother cannot "give" a baby to someone else.

You may be able to ADOPT the child. But the father has to consent to it. In most states you have to be married for a period to qualify for adoption.

So yes, you should see a Family Law attorney who can tell you what the chances are that you can adopt this child and help you prepare the adoption petition if you have a chance.
