We're Still Here After

What Are My Rights as a Birth Mom?

You have more rights than you think:

You choose the adoptive family
You decide on open or closed adoption
You can change your mind during parts of the process
Your privacy is protected — even without legal immigration status
You never pay anything

We explain every form — no fine print, no surprises.

How Much Does Adoption Cost Me?

It’s always free for you.

Many moms worry: “Will I owe money? How do I pay for the hospital or the doctor?”

With DeColores, you never pay. In fact, we can help with:

Safe housing if you need it
Prenatal care & delivery
Food & clothing
Emotional support & counseling
Transportation, if needed

Pregnancy can be overwhelming — we make sure you and your baby are fully cared for.

Can I Choose the Family for My Baby?

Yes — you are in control.

You can choose a family that gives you peace and trust. We have wonderful, fully screened families ready to welcome your baby with love.

Some moms prefer open adoption — they get updates, photos, even visits. Others prefer closed adoption — with no contact after placement.

Both options are legal, safe, and respected. It’s your decision.

Real Stories from Moms Who Chose Adoption

Hearing from other women can help you feel understood and strong.

Maria was 19 when she found out she was pregnant. She was scared — she didn’t have legal papers and feared deportation. After calling us, she learned adoption was possible — safe and private. Today, Maria receives photos of her baby and says she has hope again.

Kayla was homeless when she called us. She didn’t want her baby growing up on the streets. We helped her find housing, food, and a loving family. She now visits her baby and says: I didn’t give up — I gave my child the chance I never had.”
