No. I am sorry to say you are too young. It's even tough for older people to adopt children unless you have a lot of money and buy your way through a lawyers service. There are lots of chances to adopt later on in your life. It's a lot of work bringing up a baby and very expensive as well. Marcy

∙ 18y agoIn general you must be 21 years of age before even be considered a candidate for adopting or fostering a child. The actual process of adoption is much more complexed then simply be "old enough." There are some rare exceptions, which would be, someone under the age of 21 wanting to adopt their spouse's child/children. I'd also add that, apart from legal considerations, adopting often (always?) comes with significantly more issues than having a child biologically (which certainly has enough of its own!) ... while a minimum "age" may or may not be terribly important, having some years of perspective and life experience under your belt will serve you well. Don't rush into adoption!
In most places, the minimum age requirement to adopt a child is 21. Being 18 years old usually does not meet this requirement.

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.
