Can I Choose Who Adopts My Baby?

One of the biggest fears many birth moms have is, “Will I lose control?” The truth is: You are in control. At DeColores, we believe every mom deserves the right to pick who raises her baby. You get to choose the adoptive family, decide what feels right, and make a plan you feel proud of — with no judgment, no pressure, and full support every step of the way.

Below, we’ll break down exactly how you can choose a family, how we screen them, how open or closed adoptions work, and how to feel confident that your baby will be safe and loved.

Do Birth Moms Get to Pick the Family?

Yes. At DeColores, you are the one who says yes or no to the adoptive family. We’ll show you waiting families who match what matters to you — faith, lifestyle, other children, where they live, and more. You have the final say.

How DeColores Screens Adoptive Families

We take your trust seriously. Every adoptive family must pass:

  • Criminal background checks
  • Home studies by licensed social workers
  • Financial screenings
  • Interviews and references
They also complete training on how to build healthy, loving, open relationships with birth moms when you choose open adoption. You don’t have to worry — we do the heavy lifting.

What If I Want to Meet the Family?

Many moms want to meet the adoptive family face-to-face. You absolutely can. Some choose a simple phone call or video chat first. You can ask questions, share hopes for your baby, and see if the family feels right for you.

Open vs Closed: What’s Best for You?

You decide if you want an open or closed adoption:
  • Open adoption: Stay in touch, share photos, updates, or even visits (based on your agreement).
  • Closed adoption: No ongoing contact — more privacy.
Many moms choose semi-open options that feel just right. We’ll explain every choice and respect your boundaries.
