Re: moving
Assuming you are resident in the USA legally; Assuming you are not married and assuming there is a father who has parental rights; then you need to get either the father's written permission to move back with your child or the courts permission.
Given your age and assuming your family will help you, the court is likely to allow you return with your child.
Good Luck.
