You file a petition in Family Court to "Relinquish Parental Rights". In most cases the parent wishing to give up their rights to a child must undergo a counseling session. In almost every state, unless the child is being placed for adoption, relinquishment does not relieve the parent from their financial obligations.

Each state has a slightly different procedure. If you have not yet given birth and will use a hospital, they can tell you. There is a child welfare agency in your area. They can tell you. The social workers can tell you. A lawyer can tell you. It depends on the specific situation. At one home they have the girls sigh a document stating that they are abandoning their child. Then after the girl leaves the home, the home has the court declare the child abandoned. Then the home places the baby with its adoptive parents. The home's records are sealed. Once the baby leaves the home, the birth mother can not get in touch with the baby. The adoptive parents raise the baby like any other baby in a loving family.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
