I’ve been watching the secret life of an american teenager, and I was just curious….Does a minor father have to sign papers in order for the minor mother to put her child up for adoption? Does he have to sign away his fatherly rights? Or is it just the minor mothers decision?

My boyfriends ex-girlfriend is planning on signing her rights away to her sister. If he signs his rights away, can he still see her in an open adoption. I don’t know how the legal system works in this case. He would take full custody but works all day.
