As best I can tell, the teen mother is under the control of her parents, but not the baby. The baby is under the control of its mother, not the grandmother.
This is my personal opinion.

Yes your Parents can get a DNA test after the Baby is born since you are a minor. Do you know who the Father is?

Why don't you want the DNA test done?
In any event. As I understand the situation, at least in Canada, an adult can be requested by court to provide a DNA sample to prove or disprove paternity. While the court will not compel them for constitutional reasons, they can draw adverse inference if the party refuses:
"Adverse inference is a legal inference, adverse to the concerned party, drawn from silence or absence of requested evidence."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_inference
Or in slightly simpler terms, if you refuse to provide evidence in your own defense, or if evidence is missing or destroyed, the court may choose to assume the evidence, if present, would fall in the favor of the other party.
I don't know what other challenges may be involved with an infant, but given that the DNA testing simply involves blood work, I doubt it would be refused on the basis of age.
Do you think it's probably a better idea for a pregnant teen to keep her baby and find a way to raise it or give it up in most cases? Why?

That's actually a good point. Hadn't even considered it from that aspect.
