What is the name of your state?missouri
Could a 17 year old mother sign for an adoption, being she is a minor, without her parent's permission? This was in 4/1974. She was married so would she not have been emancipated? Her husband was not the father. Could she have gone into a hospital and say she was not married and have whoever she "said" was the father to sign for the adoption? I also heard that if she had a mental problem that she would not need a father to sign. I thoght both signatures were required. Or could her and her mother have signed? I have looked and cant seem to find the answer..thanks for your time...
