Safe Haven programs

Safe Haven programs provide a legal and safe option for parents to relinquish newborns they can’t care for without facing criminal charges. Typically, they allow parents to leave their unharmed babies at designated locations, such as hospitals or fire stations, with no questions asked. These programs aim to ensure the child’s safety and well-being while offering parents relief from difficult situations. Laws and specific procedures vary by state, but the core goal is to protect vulnerable infants and provide responsible alternatives for parents in crisis.
