The National Safe Haven Alliance (NSHA) supports parents facing crisis pregnancy situations and Safe Haven providers to prevent infanticide and abandonment. NSHA is dedicated to reaching these women and encouraging them to make the safest choice for themselves and their babies, whether it is a safe-haven relinquishment, adoption, or parenting. The National Safe Haven Alliance works to publicize Safe Haven laws and a 24/7 crisis hotline so parents in need know that this compassionate alternative exists for them and their newborns. National Safe Haven Alliance Projects:
To achieve its mission of promoting infant abandonment laws and to support state efforts to prevent infanticide, the National Safe Haven Alliance has created the following: a crisis counseling hotline; customizable brochures, posters, and educational materials; a speakers' bureau; expert training on building Safe Haven programs; an up-to-date compilation of statistics, state laws, and Safe Haven organizations and programs; media outreach; websites for state organizations. Sign Project
In addition, NSHA is providing signs at hospitals, fire/EMS stations and all approved Safe Haven providers across the United States that identify them as "Safe Haven Locations" where babies can be safely relinquished. Mothers in Need
NSHA has also spent the last year developing a fund to assist mothers in need who may utilize the Safe Haven program, or need support to parent their newborn. State Organizations
NSHA is in the process of helping set up state organizations in areas with no local Safe Haven offices. If you're interested in helping with this, please contact us at 623-428-1308. BABY SAFE HAVEN - ABANDONED INFANT PROTECTION LAWS
About Safe Haven Laws:
Every state has a law in place to allow an unharmed infant to be relinquished to designated Safe Haven locations. Hospitals are a designated location in every state. The National Safe Haven Alliance works with states to promote these laws and increase public awareness that options exist and can safely coordinate a safe post-birth plan with a parent in need. Together, the Alliance and states work together to save the lives of innocent infants and to protect the lives of their parents. Since the first Safe Haven law was enacted in Texas in 1999, all U.S. states and the District of Columbia have passed Safe Haven legislation, and every state has reported lives saved through the existence of these laws. Due to less-than-perfect-reporting methods, we are unsure of the exact number but know that in the past decade, these laws have saved more than 4,500 infants. The Problem:
The late 1990s had a surge in infant abandonments, many resulting in the death of these innocent babies. In response to these incidents, a movement erupted to allow parents to relinquish custody of unharmed newborn infants without fear of prosecution. At the time, parents risked criminal prosecution for neglect or abandonment. The Solution
"Baby Safe Haven" laws or infant abandonment laws were created to remove the potential for prosecution so long as children were given unharmed and given to proper authorities. Since the first law was adopted in Texas in 1999, each state across the US has enacted a Safe Haven law. While each state's law is different, they all ensure the safety of newborn infants and the protection of parents who decide to properly relinquish their child. Today
Safe Haven laws have been remarkably successful. Unfortunately, babies are still illegally and unsafely abandoned, in part because women do not know that they have another option. It is important that these laws are widely promoted and that women in need are informed that they are not alone.

Over the holidays, an infant was safely surrendered in Tennessee using a Safe Haven Baby Box. While details remain limited, we want to take a moment to clarify an important point that can save lives:

No identifying information is required to surrender a baby under Safe Haven laws—whether a baby is surrendered at a Baby Box or directly to a Safe Haven provider (such as a hospital, fire station, or EMS).

Safe Haven laws exist to provide a safe, legal, and anonymous option for parents in crisis. No questions. No judgment. Just safety for the baby and support for the parent.

If you or someone you know needs help, you are not alone.

A tragic case in Nampa, Idaho involving the death of a 12-day-old infant underscores how critical safe sleep, stable living conditions, and early support are for newborns and families. While the investigation continues, this loss is a reminder that preventable tragedies can occur when families are overwhelmed and lack resources.

At the National Safe Haven Alliance, we want families to know that help is always available. If you or someone you know is pregnant, struggling, or unsure how to keep a baby safe, please reach out—support can save lives.

In Iowa, a baby boy born this past October was safely surrendered under the state’s Safe Haven Act and is now being cared for by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services until a permanent home is found. This marks another moment where Safe Haven laws gave a parent in crisis a safe, legal, and compassionate option for their newborn.

Safe Haven laws were created to protect infants and support parents who feel they have no other choice — allowing an infant up to 90 days old to be surrendered safely at hospitals, fire stations, or police stations with no legal repercussions.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please remember: help is always available. You are not alone.

A 28-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident.
