The short answer is "no."
In all States, the birth mother and the birth father, if he has properly established paternity1, hold the primary right of consent to adoption of their child. Either one or both parents may have these rights terminated for a variety of possible reasons, including abandonment, failure to support the child, mental incompetence, or a finding of parental unfitness due to abuse or neglect. When neither birth parent is available to give consent, the responsibility can fall to other legal entities, such as: * An agency which has custody of the child * Any person who has been given custody * A guardian or guardian ad litem * The court having jurisdiction over the child * A close relative of the child * A "next friend" of the child, who is a responsible adult appointed by the court
So unless the underage birth mother and father are found to be incompetent or unfit in any way, or if they are absent for any reason, the grandparents have no right to give the child up for adoption.
