Did you sign an AOP at the hospital? Do you have a court order that designates child support, conservatorship, possession and access? You need legal standing that you are a parent (since you were not married) and then you need a court order that establishes each parent's rights and responsibilities. Since you are a minor, and not married, you have additional mountains to climb; but if it is important that you are important in this child's life - then you are obligated to follow through and make sure you able to parent him without interference. Good luck!
