BABY SAFE HAVEN – ABANDONED INFANT PROTECTION LAWS

About Safe Haven Laws

https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/jbxetuu0a Each state has a law in place to allow an unharmed infant to be relinquished to the proper authorities, no questions asked. The National Safe Haven Alliance works with states to promote these laws and increase public awareness that options exist. Together, the Alliance and states work together to save the lives of innocent infants and to protect the lives of their mothers.
