What is the name of your state? Florida
Thanks for the replies to my earlier question.
If I'm to understand this correctly. I have a minor daughter, the father is a minor also. I as the daughter's father have no say about what my daughter's decisions are about this pregancy. Or who can adopt the child. But I am finacialy reponseable for everything?

Correct, eventhough a minor, there are exceptions insofar as pregnancy, abortion, birth control and also for healthcare decisions for the child.

Or who can adopt the child.
If there is to be adoption, both parents must agree to relinquish their parental rights, if it is an open adoption, they as the parents have the right to decide who adopts the child, if a closed adoption, then no.

You are responsible for your child's care while a minor until they reach majority or otherwise emancipated, in most cases, pregnancy does not emancipate the child. Once the child is born and paternity established, then custody, child support, visitation can all be established if they decide to keep the child. Your daughter may also be eligible for special programs for pregnant mothers, call social services and or pregnancy counseling centers for referals and assistance, many provide counseling, education, maternity clothes, baby furniture and clothes, also ask about WIC assistance. SO ther is help out there.
