The age of a legal adult in New York is set at 21 years of age. However, individuals who are younger and want to become emancipated can get married, join the military, file an affidavit, or demonstrate an ability to take care of themselves financially.

Can a 17 and 26 year old have a baby in New York?

17 is the age of consent so yes.But if I were you I would wait until I was emancipated and could move out and have my own place without parental consent. Having a baby does not emancipate you. You would still have to do what your parents tell you what to do. You would only be emancipated when it comes to making medical decisions regarding yourself and the baby.
