Over 4,014 Babies Saved to Date

Find Safe Haven information in your state and where you may ANONYMOUSLY surrender your baby

 WE SAVE BABIES’ LIVES.

Are you alone and afraid? Please let us help you. There are safe and anonymous options for you and your baby.

Each year in the United States, too many babies are abandoned. Despite safe haven legislation that provides parents a safe way to relinquish their infant, lack of public awareness has limited the laws’ effects. The National Safe Haven Alliance works to promote these laws and increase awareness on both local and national levels.

How does the law work?

The law saves babies from unsafe abandonment. It says that parents who do not harm their baby will not be prosecuted for abandonment if they hand their newborn to a responsible adult at a Safe Haven location. It gives a desperate parent a responsible alternative. Depending on your state, the law tells you where are the accepted locations that you can leave your baby and up to what age, with no questions asked as long as they are unharmed.

What do I say when I leave my baby?

Once you get to one of the accepted locations (Hospitals, Law Enforcement Agencies, etc. depending on your state) You will need to relinquish your baby with one of the staff members at the location, and explain that you are relinquishing your infant to them under the Safe Haven Law

You might be asked to fill out some medical information and other important facts about your newborn, yourself, and the father, mainly for the reason of passing along any and all information that might be important to the adoptive parents for the infant. The person who you are relinquishing your baby to will make sure that the baby is unharmed in any way, and if that is the case, then you will be free to go with no questions asked, and no trouble.

OUR MISSION

Since 2004 the National Safe Haven Alliance (NSHA) has supported all state efforts that are in alignment with the NSHA mission, to prevent infanticide and newborn abandonment through education and advocacy of the Safe Haven law.  NSHA commits to supporting and assisting a parent in a crisis situation that may be unwilling or unable to care for her newborn, by providing national resources and options including parenting and adoption.

OUR VISION

The National Safe Haven Alliance works to publicize Safe Haven laws by supporting Safe Haven organizations nationally. The organization is partnering with like-minded organizations, thus providing a compassionate and safe alternative for a parent and newborn, preventing infant abandonment.

National Safe Haven Alliance leaders are the Safe Haven subject matter experts. The volunteer staff are advocates from across the country committed to supporting parents and providers in desperate circumstances including parenting resources, adoption support, and Safe Haven information.

 

For questions, resources, education, legislation resources, best practice models, training materials or support from our trained Crisis Response Team we are available 24/7.
