Safe Haven Program

The Safe Haven Program allows new parents to legally and anonymously surrender a newborn without facing criminal charges, provided the baby is handed over to designated personnel at a designated location, such as a hospital or fire station. The program is designed to protect babies from abandonment or harm, ensuring they receive care and have the opportunity for a safe future. It balances the child's safety with the parent's ability to make an anonymous, legal decision without fear of prosecution for parental abandonment.
