Best Answer

Yes. Your parental rights can be terminated if the child is removed from your care and you fail to show that you are making progress toward being a proper parent.

However, the process is long, and the state is unlikely to start it with a child who is 17 and thus probably won't be adopted.

A voluntary adoption would involve voluntary termination of parental rights.

Yes. Both are too young to understand what is involved in becoming a parent. Neither can support a child nor have the education to make sure that the child is well taken care of. Usually, the responsibility falls to one or both parents to parent and raise the child since the 13 year old and the 16 year old are still children themselves.
