When a minor places a child for adoption, does she need parental consent to sign the forms or is she automatically emancipated once she gives birth?

It depends on how young the child is and the state. In some states if you're a minor at all, you have to have a parent sign as well. Some states a parent only has to sign if the mother is 14 or younger. In others, as soon as you become pregnant you are legally emancipated. That's how it was for me, so my parents didn't need to sign anything.
