Best Answer

Assuming that you voluntarily gave up parental rights to the child, no. Once your rights were severed you no longer have any legal rights to the child.

If your rights were not legally terminated you would need to get an attorney and prove to the courts that due process was not served, if the courts agree this could make the adoption invalid - there would have to be some very extenuating circumstances for the courts to rule in your favor.

If the child has expressed an interest in renewing contact with you and the parents are in agreement - it would be wise to try to work out an informal visitation arrangement with them.

That dependent of the age of the child and your state. In Kansas, if the father has not been providing financial support during the pregnancy, he cannot stop an adoption of the child up to one year old.

Can a teenage mothers parents adopt the baby if no father is on birth certificate?

If the mother agrees, however if the father is known, it would be best to have his cooperation as he would have to voluntarily relinquish his parental rights in order for such an adoption to take place. The court will make every effort to notify the father of the pending adoption including, in most states, publication of the proposed adoption in the newspaper. And even if the father remains clueless and finds out at a later date what happened, again, depending on state law, he may still have the right to petition the court to have the adoption declared null and void if he wishes to reclaim and exercise his parental rights. You need to consult with an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence, lay out all of the facts and get an informed opinion. There are just too many variables to give a detailed answer on such a complex issue on an internet forum.
