IF YOURE NOT INTO READING SOMETHING LONG AT LEAST READ THIS PART PLEASE.

Hey! So here is my problem in a nutshell. I'm 17 years old my birthday is march 1st. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and due October 20th. I would like to marry by boyfriend Greg and raise our son together. But my mom moved me to Arizona to separate the two of us. My mom wants me to give the baby up for adoption. And so I'm trying to findout what my personal rights are as a mother now and just findout if there is any way I can get a court order to get married or back to Utah as soon as possible to give birth there. And raise my son with my boyfriend. I've done my best to talk with free attorneys and I've called courts and because I'm 17 no one will talk to me.. I'm in desperate need of help. If you can help or have family or friends that could I'd be so unbelievably grateful.

The pictures I'm attaching to this are of papers my mom and step dad have given to me of their view of pros and cons for adoption and keeping the baby and how much the baby would cost me. They have me these last Saturday. Cause I won't communicate to them I am already going to keep the baby. Out of fear that they might do something to me to stop that from happening.

MORE DETAILS🔽

My mom moved me to Arizona to live with my step brother and his wife.

I don't get along with my mom and when she got remarried 3 years ago our relationship just got worse. On my birthday this year my mom found out I was pregnant before I could get the moment to tell her myself. She tried sending me to lots of other people in my family. I ended up going to my step brothers to live with him and his wife. My mom is paying rent for them to take care of me. They were at the beginning under the impression also that they would get the baby. But I've voiced clearly I wasn't okay with that. Non the less I am here and I've been here for a couple months now. And I've been trying my best working with my boyfriend and his parents to get me back but I don't know where to go from here. My step dad and mom have made it clear to me how they feel they have also been extremely mentally abusive and my step dad has gotten physically abusive multiple time with getting in my face and cornering me. He hasn't hit me tho. I just get scared and paranoid about what will happen next. It's all just really hard.. I so badly want to be home with the one I love getting ready with him for our new baby. And I'm just so scared that someone could hurt that..

because I am a minor and they are paying for my medical care right now I can't just leave. And I don't know if just leaving would mean I am a runaway. And could hurt me more.

I don't want to do anything that could put me in a place where I'd be seen unfit to be a mother or lose my baby.

I just don't know where to go from here I've tried talking to attorneys but because I'm underage and have no money they all turn me away. I tried asking the court to see if I can get court order for a marriage license. But they said I'd have to take that up with juvenile court. And I just don't know what to ask or say. And I'm starting to freak out.

I just want my baby to have a perfect beginning to his life. With me and his dad together. And I get so scared if my mom has control over making that not happen.

I know this was all probably really confusing and long but if anyone can help or is willing to try. Please please please let me know I can give you my contact information or you could drop you email or number just... anything helps.
