    No, but they can offer to raise the baby which would keep the baby in the family which the teen should think about.

    I’m not sure, but if you’re under age it might be possible that they could just take legal custody over your baby if you dont want it.

    If your parents dont want you to give it up for adoption then you should just give them full custody if you are a minor and unable to care for the child then your child could not be in better hands your parents can raise your child you might end up wanting it later :)

    I highly doubt it..
    Its the mothers choice its her baby, not the parents

    well i think they could try to get custody of the child. but then you would have no responsibility to him/her.

    No they cant. They may be able to adopt it though. Ultimatley I believe it is up to you though.

    No. They can’t. I think it’s a good decision. Also, my roommate in college had three years of college left when she got pregnant. Her mother took custody until she graduated. The baby at three will never remember the years of her grandmother being her guardian, and it allowed my roommate time to make a good life for her daughter and her.
