You will need an attorney - there's no way around that.

You can't. You can grant a family member power of attorney to act in your place, but you are still legally responsible for the child.
The only way to sever your legal responsibility completely is to have the other person adopt your child.
The other way to come close to the same thing is to have the family member appointed guardian (in some states, of the person and the estate) of the child.
And you are better off talking to a lawyer about each of those.

You can grant them Legal Guardians, so they have all the rights until you decide yo can take care of them or whatever the situation may be.. My cousin granted her mom legal guardian of her daughter and they did not have a attorney you just need notary. But I would consult an attorney before going forward.

I think you have to go through the adoption process with a lawyer unless it is just temporary guardianship I believe in texas where I'm from you still need a lawyer for this process but you can get you're rights back. good luck and really think it through ok.....

Don't know the why's but you will need a lawyer to do it right.
To protect both parties. Just make sure that you know it's for the best for all concerned. Think about it first.
