Art. 1111 Capacity generally

Any parent can legally give up their child for adoption. This is the basic starting point for how adoption surrenders work in Louisiana.

There are some exceptions to this general rule, which are explained elsewhere in this same section of the law. So while most parents have the right to surrender a child, certain situations may limit or change that right. If you're dealing with a specific case, you'll want to check those other related rules to see if any exceptions might apply to your situation.
