In TN, who has to consent to adoption if the birth parents are both minors?

Oviously both birth parents would have to, but do the parents of the birth parents have a say in the matter, too? If so, do both sets of parents or just the mother's set?

The parents of the birth parents have no say. If the birth parents want to have the child adopted, it's their decision, not the grandparents.

The Supreme Court ruled on this back in the 80s.

the bio parents and noone else. Doesn't matter if they are minors.

birth parents, no matter the age

Other relatives only get a say if they're sueing for custody. It doesn't matter that both parents are underage.
