Minors have the same legal rights to their child as does an adult mother unless a court rules otherwise.

Parents of a pregnant minor cannot force the minor to have an abortion, place the child for adoption or sign over her parental rights.

If the parents choose not to support their daughter during her pregnancy or afterwards, the minor female can petition the court for emancipation rights.

Is it possible to legally adopt someone over 21?

It depends what state, province, or country you live in.

In states such as California, NY, Alaska, Florida, Illinois, and Nevada, adult adoption is readily available with few restrictions. This also applies to Canadian provinces such as Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan.

In other places, restrictions apply. Example: in Alabama you may only adopt an adult if he/she is "totally and permanently disabled" or "determined to be mentally retarded." In British Columbia, an adult can be adopted if they were financially supported by the potential adopter while a minor.

In other states and provinces, the court has ruled it cannot be done.

Adult adoption is a legal process that has historical roots in Roman times, and was frequently used throughout the last 2000 years to establish legal inheritance rights between adults. It precedes laws that deal with the legal adoption of infants (mainly instituted under child welfare laws dating to the mid 19th century).

Besides inheritance rights, former foster parents may want to adopt the adult they fostered as a child, and natural parents may want to "adopt-back" the adult son or daughter they surrendered to adoption as an infant, especially if the surrender involved fraud or coercion.

Persons who are developmentally disabled are also eligible to have a court appointed guardian or Guardian Ad Litem, if it is necessary.

If you are 19 and pregnant should you keep the baby or put it up for adoption?

That is something that you need to decide for yourself. You are an adult now and should be capable of making adult decisions.

If you believe you're in a good position to take care of a baby.. diapers, day care, long nights, time, food, money, and all.. then maybe keeping the baby wouldn't be so bad. But if you know in your heart that you are not ready for a baby and know you cant support one, then do the adult thing and give her to a loving family who is in a better position, and probably cannot conceive on their own.

But ultimately, you need to look inside yourself for the answer to this question.
