Not only are we celebrating 25 years of the Baby Safe Haven Law this year in Illinois, but we are also celebrating 914 days without an illegal relinquishment!

The law allows a parent to safely relinquish their newborn to a person at a Police Station (including Campus Police), Fire Station, Hospital, or Emergency Medical Facility with no questions asked.

The law is for multiple locations within each city/town, not just one. Illinois has 1300 Fire Departments, almost 900 police departments, and over 235 hospitals. That is 2,435 locations where a baby can be legally relinquished into the arms of a caring human! There is also an option to provide your medical history ANONYMOUSLY so that the adopting parents have a good history of the baby's background.

Spread the word! The Safe Haven Laws work.

Thanks to Zoe for helping us confirm that the sign at the Batavia Police Illinois is displayed correctly! We’ve sent them a certificate of recognition to celebrate their commitment to the Safe Haven program.

Is your local police or fire department displaying the sign properly? Snap a photo of yourself standing in front of it and send it our way—we’d love to recognize their efforts, too!
