Safe Haven Box Saves Newborn in Indiana | Indianapolis News

A newborn in Grant County, Indiana, found safety last month through the Safe Haven Baby Box program at Marion General Hospital, as a mother in crisis chose this discreet, life-saving option. The infant is now with Indiana’s Department of Child Services and will be placed with an adoptive family through standard adoption procedures — a testament to the program’s success in connecting vulnerable babies with loving homes. Monica Kelsey, founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, praised the mother’s courage and reaffirmed the program’s mission to protect children and support families in need. Since launching in 2017, the initiative has seen over 280 safe surrenders nationwide — including more than 80 through baby boxes — offering hope and security to mothers and infants alike. For immediate help, call the National Safe Haven Crisis Hotline at 1-866-99-BABY-1 or visit their website. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
