Voluntarily relinquishing parental rights
My daughter was 14 when she was raped,and had a child. The child is a constant reminder of what happened,so she wants no ties. How can she relinquish her rights to this child?:confused:

This is a hard one. Under most circumstances a court would not grant a TPR. But they might in this instance.
However, I question why she didn't put the child up for adoption at birth or even abort. How old is the child now? That could have a bearing on the court's decision.

It is still possible for this to happen but it will be much harder if the child is no longer an infant just because of all the people wanting to adopt (and there are TONS!! ) most want to start with an infant. Basiclly though if the child is over a certain age it isn't likely that you will be able to just give up on it because the judge will say you had plenty of chances before and right after the baby was born that you decided you wanted to keep it.

In the thread I posted it was the OP that wanted to relinquish rights, not his daughter. Very curious to me.

After looking at the post that J9 pointed out I took it to mean that because the bio mother, his daughter, was so young he took on guardianship of the child but that wouldn't necessarily end her "ties" as he said in this thread. I could be way off but just from two sentences that is what I gathered.

That's the way I looked at it also.

Good catch yourself. I didn't look at it quite that way. But I do see your point now. Most likely this is the case.

You need to contact an attorney. These kinds of things happen everyday and people sign over rights to friends, family, or complete strangers that they meet on the streets. It doesn't matter. There are plenty of people out there that are willing to take care of that baby and raise them and love them (like myself). I know a lady that has had a few babies just signed over to her.
The FIRST step is either to contact an attorney or to find someone who want the little girl. If you have any questions or if I can be of anymore help, please don't hesitate to contact me a EMAIL REMOVED FOR PRIVACY

How old is the baby now, and who is there that wants to adopt, or does she want to just turn the child over to the state.
Is there a family member that may want to raise the child
