You will still have rights. Age does not determine who the baby belongs with.

You still have more rights than he does. In most states when a teen has a baby she is basically considered an adult because she has to make legal and medical decisions for her baby.

The baby is yours no matter what. If your boyfriend would take you to court over it later you would still have rights to your baby. No matter what, unless they could prove that you weren't taking care of the baby that baby will always be yours, and his too.

The child is yours, but he does have legal rights if you put his name on the certificate, and if at any time he finds you unfit, he can take fight for full custody.

No, you're the mother. It doesn't really matter what anybody tells you, you are that child's mother, they can't take the baby from you. :) I promise.

It is your child you will have the rights but he will also be entitled to visitation rights.
