Two newborn babies were surrendered to Safe Haven Baby Boxes within two days of each other in Indiana, officials announced.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes founder Monica Kelsey told the outlet that “we are very blessed that these mothers chose to lovingly and legally surrender their infant[s].”
The surrenders were the first of 2023 in Indiana, which saw eight newborn surrenders last year. Safe Haven believes this year will see more surrenders than last year, according to the report. Capt. Eric Banister with the Wayne Township fire department said the system “worked smoothly for the mother, the child, and the first responders that received the newborn.”
There are 96 baby box locations in Indiana and 136 in the country, according to the report. Kelsey previouslyshe came up with the idea for Safe Haven Baby Boxes because officials were “still finding dead, abandoned babies despite states having a Safe Haven law, allowing mothers to surrender newborns to hospitals and fire stations.”
