In return, you can remain anonymous and will not be prosecuted for abandonment. 

Your child will be placed with a loving adoptive family.

Your Donation Makes a Difference

In Illinois, 160 newborns have been safely relinquished under the law since the Safe Haven Act was passed in 2001. Unfortunately, 92 newborns in Illinois were unsafely abandoned and 48 of those babies died.

That is why awareness about the Safe Haven Law is so important. We offer an option to a desperate parent – that helps save lives. 

 

Please help us continue our passion, commitment, and dedication to spreading awareness of Safe Haven laws.
