Can teen parents sign over rights to their child to another teen couple?

'Signing over their rights to a child' sounds like adoption here. Most states have laws set about who can adopt. Usually people over the age of 25 and / or married couples. Not to say that you cannot adopt under the age of 25, but I do believe that you must be at least 18 to adopt a child in some states. Minors under the age of 18 are not considered adults, and therefore cannot adopt children.
