- Has 13 children, 10 of whom are adopted (their birth years ranges from 1979 or 1980 to 2008 or 2009). One of her sons, Isaiah Harris, was born in 1984 during her marriage to George Harris and her daughter Shayla Ortega was born before she had married her father Douglas Ortega in 1996. Delilah had trouble conceiving after Shayla's birth but still longed for more kids, so she and Ortega began to adopt. In 1999 they found an African-American boy close to Isaiah's age; when they learned he had two siblings also in foster care, they decided to adopt them as well. Then Delilah discovered she was pregnant. "So I went from having two biological kids ... to having six children in one year," she says. In 2003 she met a 20-year-old single mom who never knew her parents, she completed an adult adoption so that the woman would be her legal daughter and the baby her granddaughter. She also adopted two girls from the settlement, bringing her child count to an even 10 - and she won't rule out adopting more.
