Rob: It's not clear that the couple ( 17 year olds ) can't execute a model release both for themselves and for the baby. In many jurisdictions, being married constitutes emancipation - thus giving them the status of adults. If they aren't emancipated, then the release for the baby will be an interesting question as posted.

Both of the parents are 17. Clearly the couple can't sign their own release and their parents are going to sign a minor model release. But what about the baby? Who would sign a minor model release for the baby since her parents can't? Inquiring minds want to know! Rob Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
