The parent has the right to decide about the baby, regardless of their age. However, if the minor cannot show that they can take care of the child, the courts can take away their parental rights.

You will have no problem except for the having "no papers" part and being able to be here as a legal resident. You might want to look into becoming a legal resident if you were previously married to the baby's parent. Otherwise you will not be able to apply for residency under current laws until your baby is 21 years old. Good Luck.
