If you choose to "give up your child" you may not be stopping yrou duty to provide finaincial responsiblity for the child. You can contact Children's Services in your county and explain that you wish to turn yrou child over to the state for a placement decision. They may place the child in the foster care system, but you may still have to pay child support for several more years.

Good luck
