Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Yes, I was just wondering, I know a young girl who is only 15 and she is pregnant, there are some people who talked into giving her baby up for adoption and took her before an attorney and she signed her rights away of her baby, Now here is my question the lawyer and the people who took her to do this, told her this was final, and even if she changed her mind before or after the baby was born she could not keep her child, because she signed her rights away. Is this true? Please let me know for I feel this young girl is very confused and was kind of pushed into all this.

I don't know all the facts but it sounds strange to me.

Also the bio. dad needs to sign away his rights.

If she wants a consultation, I charge $1 per minute to do so.

It would help if you had the paper she signed.

Your friend needs a lawyer. She should talk to someone before the baby is born.
