💙 Every call can change a life. 💙

A hospital social worker recently contacted our 24/7 confidential NSHA hotline on behalf of a mother who had just delivered her baby boy and was considering a Safe Haven surrender. Wanting to ensure the mother was fully informed and supported, the social worker reached out to our team for guidance.

With the support of our trained hotline responder, we were able to connect directly with the mother and compassionately walk her through all of her options—parenting, temporary placement, adoption, and Safe Haven surrender. During this conversation, the mother shared that she wanted to maintain a connection with her baby but didn’t realize adoption could make that possible. Learning that adoption can offer a loving family and preserve a meaningful connection to her child was empowering.

With this knowledge and support, the mother chose an adoption plan—ensuring her son’s safety, stability, and a lifelong connection to his story.

This is the power of informed, compassionate support in a moment of crisis.

Thanks to our mission partners and donors, NSHA’s hotline team is able to be there when it matters most—answering the call, providing crisis intervention, and supporting parents with dignity and care. We are grateful that both mother and baby are safe, supported, and moving forward with hope.

Celebrating 25 years - https://mailchi.mp/saveabandonedbabies/happy_valentines_day-10154737

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.
