Answer 2

Not necessarily it does depend on the state you live in. You said your parents know and that they are not planning on pressing charges? Go on line and look it up on your local government website. As to your other troubles. You need to think about all the consequences. Abortion is forever you cant go back. You can give the baby up for adoption. I am not some pro lifer either I am all for your right to choose for what you want for your body. I just want you know think about what you can live with. 14 is way too young to be having sex to begin with much less with a 18 year old and he should have known better. And he is guilty of Statutory Rape.

Answer 3

Yes, he can get into serious trouble. Even if your parent's don't press charges, he can still get into trouble, in some states,
if you list him on the birth certificate as the father. Thats because doctors and hospitals are required by law to report that type of
thing. Also, if you apply for Medicaid or welfare or anything they
will do DNA to find out who the father is. Not only will he have to pay support, if you keep the baby, but he'll be reported by those agencies as well, even if your parent's don't report him.
Suggestion...if you really want to keep him out of trouble...and if you actually love him....and if your parents will go for it....get permission from your parents to marry him...you may have to have the ceremony done in a state that allows 14 year olds to marry with parental consent.

Answer 4

YES!!!! He can go to jail and do serious time for this, also he will be listed as a sex offender for life. If i were you i would tell my parents right away, there is no way you are ready for a baby at 14. I would seriously snap out of this daydream you are living in, do you think this guy is going to stick by you ? Your crazy. If your biggest concern is weather or not this fool is going to go to jail or get in trouble then missy im telling you you have bigger things brewing then that. Him and his problems should be the last thing on your mind right now. He is a big boy and can take care of himself after all he is the one that got you into this mess.

Answer 5

Your parental consent is carefully beside the point. mom and father won't be able to supply permission for their little ones to be raped. Michigan regulation places the age of consent at sixteen, 18 if the older person in contact has any style of authority over the extra youthful (a activities group coach, as an occasion). there's no close-in-age exemption, so your boyfriend is accountable of one/3 degree criminal sexual habit, it quite is a legal. and because statutory rape is a intercourse crime, your boyfriend will, if caught, land up on the intercourse criminal registry. while you're certainly pregnant, then the infant's DNA mixed with the age of the infant is evidence that your boyfriend raped you. Signing the start certificates as father is likewise evidence of the crime. A rapist does not have parental rights to their sufferer, and being on a intercourse criminal registry makes touch with little ones against the regulation. docs and government clerks are the two required by skill of regulation to record issues like underage pregnancies. pressing quotes isn't as much as you or your mom and father, quotes are pressed by skill of the prosecutor. So sure, despite in case you had an abortion, odds are your boyfriend is going to detention center.

Answer 6

If you are looking to place for adoption then you should find an agency that will support you and help you with the sutff you are going to go through.

I am a birthmom and reccommend LDS Family Services. Their website is itsaboutlove.org. Check them out. They also offer free counseling to make an educated decision and free counseling after the placement (which every birthmom should participate in)

Good luck!!

Answer 7

YES. You are under the age of consent and he is an adult. He absolutely can get in trouble. If so, he would have to register as a sex offender which can kind of limit his options in life. Your parents wouldn't have to press charges. If someone reports it to the authorities, he could be in serious trouble.

Answer 8

If your parents decide to press charges, then yes, he can get in trouble with the law. He's 18, you're 14. That's rape, whether it was consensual or not.

Answer 9

Im sure he could,but prob. not if your parents are not going to press charges.I so proud of what you said about not having an abortion!And im even prouder to see that you are concidering adoption.I am adopted!My birthmother got pregnant whith me when she was 15 and had me when she was 16.My birthfather was 23 had didn' want anything to do with my birthmother or the baby (me) as soon as she told him she was pregnant.She too made a wise choice of putting me up for adoption.I was adopted right after I was born,really before I was born because my adoptive parents had known that the had found a baby for them as soon as she decided to put me up for adoption.My mom and dad got married when my mom was 19 and my dad was 22 (my adoptive parents).After a year of marriage,the wanted to have a baby.They tired and tried for over a year and never got pregnant.My mom started seeing a fertility Dr. and for over five years tried and tried,still nothing.About six years into trying my mom finally found out she would be unable to have children.(im going to try to make a real long story short) So they decided they wanted to adopt.They stayed with one agency for 4 years hoping to get a baby.They were at the end of the list with this one angency,everyone had told them that it would be there best bet with this agency because they had the best sucess rate of adoptions.The four years went by and they company had stoped taking names because as being a non-profit organization they were low on money from donations.There were only two couples left without a child.One being my parents.The agency finally shut down and my parents were yet again let with nothing.The social worker they had been with from day one swore if she ever came upon another adoption case she would let them know.Then things started to turn around.She finally found my birth mothers case,and contacted my partents.They did everything they ahd to do to get them this case.And finally they did.I was born on March 6,1986.I cannot tell you what a wonderful life I have had and still have,my parents love me more than I can stand somtimes.I cannot thank my birthmother more for making the choice that she did.Although my adoption was a closed adoption because of the time that is was in (the 80's) I grew up only knowing a few basic things about my birthmother and father.By having a closed adoption it means that my birthmother and adoptive parents never spoke or met for any reason,and my records were sealed at birth.By weird curcumstances I finally met my birthmother last year.But that is a much longer and stranger story trust me.And it was a good experience.I just want to tell you that adoption is the most loving gesture of love you can give you child if you are uncapable to take care of it in your life right now.I know you will make the right decision for yourself,and im just very proud to see a young girl who has lost her way try to make the best of her situation.Good luck hunny.My prayers and thoughts are with you!

Edit: Bye the way I also wanted to tell you that there are open adoptions now.There are usually done two ways.

1.)The birthmother meets diffrent people wanting to adopt.She can do this through a social worker.When they fell like they have found the best home for the baby,it is set.Then usually the birthmother can give information to the adoptive parents,first the usual health history ext. and then contact info.The child will then have the option to contact you when they trun 18.This is a wonderful thing for many reasons but just to name one,because you are still young you may or may not have unknown conditions with your health either now are later,if the child is found to have any health problems that knowing you meadical history could help expalin,its good to be able to contact you.

2.)A social worker handles all affairs with the adoption,and there is no meeting with the possible adoptive parents,you give them contact info,and it is filed that you will allow the child to contact you upon their 18th birthday.They can also contact you for medical reasons also.

-you may also still have a closed adoption if you so desire.

Just wanted to add that,i forgot to put it before.
Good luck again!Lots of love -Jill

Answer 10

A better question would be.............how are you going to raise a baby at 14? At least he is old enough to pay child support and go into the military. That is the only way you're going to get through with this. Maybe you could put the baby up for adoption so you can finish school. That way.......................everyone is happy, right?

Answer 11

How sad sweetie. I just answered a ? on this a minute ago. Yes,depending on where you live he could go to jail if your or his parents decided to press charges. Please just be a 14 year old girl. If you do give the baby up or have it I wish you the best of luck.
