Answers:
Just wait 3 years, then your free to leave and you don't need foster parents... You'll be an adult.
But you do understand that your parents are only doing what they do cause they are watching over you.
Your only 15 and you have a child.., while you still are a child yourself?
Look I know this won't get me the best answer award but what do you know about taking care of a child, does your bf earn enough income to put a roof over your heads, for food, toys, house appliances, etc?
That's why people usually start having children in their mid 20's, cause they are adults, they have had life experience and over the years have earned enough to at least put money down on a house.
But you've already had the child now, If I were in your shoes I'd try to get as much help from my parents as possible... Just understand they are not going to like your bf very much cause he got you (their daughter) pregnant at 15...
Over time they will understand that he is the father and he has to see the child, but the more responsable he acts the quicker that'll be, let him send letters to your parents in professional words writing how he wants their permission to see the child and that he respects the fact that they are angry at him. If he has a job and can afford it, let him send presents to the child through mail so your parents get it first and see that he cares.
It might take a couple of months or so, but its the best way to go by it.
Also you must respect your parents never argue and be submissive to their arguments, this will speed up the process also cause then they will know they are getting to you and might feel abit sorry for it.
If you argue back and whinge then it'll just seem like nothing they say is going through.
Have a heart-to-heart chat with your parents in a coulpe of months when things have settled down and make them feel right.
Then soon after that have another heart-to-heart talk about allowing your bf to see the child.
i don't know hun.. but you're in a mess. but it could work maybe got to the social services with your bf's mom they could quitepossible allow you to live with her.
Emancipation of minors is a legal mechanism by which a person below the age of majority ("adulthood") gains certain rights, generally identical to those of adults. An emancipated minor is free of any authority from his or her parent or other legal guardian. The extension of these rights, as well as the remaining prohibitions, vary according to the jurisdiction.
In most countries of the world, adolescents below the legal age of majority may be emancipated somehow: through marriage, PREGNANCY, economic self-sufficiency, educational degree/diploma, or military service.
In some cases, parental consent is needed to achieve the "emancipated" status. In some cases, court permission is necessary. Protocols vary by jurisdiction.
seems like a very bad idea
You will have to call Child and Youth Services in your area and get more details on this. They will be able to give you more info on Emanicipation. You should be able to get one as long as you can get a place to live for you and your daughter. Even better if your baby's father's mother will let you move in with her.
Each State has thier own laws, rules and regulations on these type of matters. But your parents can not force you or shouldnt be able to stop the baby's father from seeing her.
Again get some advice from a counselor or Childrens SErvices
Good luck
I don't imagine that the CPA would let you boy friends mother be a foster parent for you because you would just get knocked up again and then have two kids instead of one. You need to go to the doctor and see if there is something he can give you to slow down your raging hormones. What do you want to have 5 children by the time you are 20?
Your parents are trying to do the right thing and take care of you and the baby. They don't want you getting knocked up again. Is the boy friend's family paying anything as far as the expenses for the baby are concerned or are they just trying to get your parents to let the father of the child have sex with you again?
Ask the baby's grandmother (not your mother) to get some legal advise which will help you. As soon as both of you know more about the situation, you can go to the right authorities with your request and than with your knowledge are able to answer the questions right. Your bf is the father of the baby and he has the right to see her and be with her. I think your parents are reacting this way because they are still under shock and they don't realize that you need their support. Good luck and let us know the outcome.
Its's posible but it's will be a hell of a fight in court. First try to get the help of family services and report everything so they can help you move out.
Avoid confrontation and drama, (tell your boyfriend to play cool) while you plan your "excape"; that way they will not have to do anything against you and it will be too late for them to do anything.
The first thing is to gat you out of the house, then later you can work on who do you want as a foster mother. Go to family services and ask for emergency help.
Not sure about child protection laws in Texas. I've heard some horror stories about Texas keeping kids in prisons when legally they don't need to be there. Sometimes the police and child welfare systems are "corrupt."
If I were you I would ask to speak with an administrator at the child welfare agency. This is somebody who is ABOVE A SUPERVISOR LEVEL. Explain you are skeptical about your rights and can you meet with them face to face before you verbally agree to anything. Demand copies of anything you sign in writing. If you don't know what you are signing, don't sign anything until the court appoints you a lawyer. I don't care what anybody tells you, children under 18 in the child welfare system have the right to be represented by a GUARDIAN AD LITEM (a lawyer). Don't worry you won't have to pay them. Think and weigh your options before you agree to anything.
You don't want to end up at a Christian group home (really a work camp) until you are 18, while your baby gets to go live with your boyfriends mother, do you?
