The short answer to this question is no. Often times one or both parents terminate their parental rights before the child is born (this is often done in cases where the parents are planning to put the child up from adoption). However, the laws vary from state to state. Thus, you must research the laws in the state where the child will be born. An attorney can help you understand your parental rights, including terminating those rights.

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children.

If your state (or country, if you live outside of the US) provides for voluntary termination in situations outside of adoption by a third party, the same way you would for any other person. Immigration status does not affect such things. You should be aware that, even if your state allows for such, termination of parental rights does not terminate your obligation to support your child. All it will accomplish is terminate your rights to see them and have any say-so in their lives.
