Every government office from the Department of Social Services to the Health Department, Fire Stations and Hospitals – have a safe haven sticker located on the outside of it’s establishment, making it accessible to a mother whom may want to give up her child, while this is a great initiative; it also exposes the identity of a mother whom may not want to be identified and/or criticized for giving up her bundle of Joy. The safe haven boxes however provides anonymity to this fact, leaving the mother unidentifiable as she wishes to remain. As with everything, these boxes do cost a pretty penny – According to nbcnews  prices range from around $1500-$2000 a box; Indiana’s Knights of Columbus Organization picked up the bill offering to pay for the first 100 baby drop box installations.

Monica Kelsey’s hope is that the boxes would save any baby that a mother is contemplating about abandoning.

If you know someone that may be thinking about giving up a child, please lead them to www.SafeHavenLaw.com or call your local government agencies whom will be able to help them.
