Ensuring your baby has a safe, secure future is a profound act of love. If you are in a crisis situation, the Illinois Safe Haven Law provides a legal, safe, and entirely confidential path forward. You are not alone.

Welcome, October! It is our month to shine, and this year our annual fundraiser theme is Silent Movie Night. Come dolled up as a 1920s movie star or wiggle on as you are and shoot the breeze with us. We will be premiering a previously unseen silent movie with live music, a silent auction, a juice joint with some giggle water, and fun!

Wait, you cannot attend?? Well, even though you might be missing out on all the fun, you can still support us, which would be the cat's pajamas. Limited Sponsorships are available, along with just plain old donations, which would be swell.

Visit saveabandonedbabies.org/fundraiser to learn more, and be sure to watch our silent movie celebrating 25 years of the Safe Haven Law at the end.

Toodle-oo and catch you on the flip side!

THIS IS THE POST WE WANT YOU TO SHARE.

Not because you need it.

Not because you know someone who does.

But because you never know.

Someone somewhere may be scared.

Someone may be hiding a pregnancy.

Someone may believe there is no safe way out.

Someone may be thinking about leaving a newborn somewhere unsafe.

We want them to know:

Illinois has a Safe Haven.

An unharmed newborn 30 days old or younger can be safely relinquished to staff at a designated Safe Haven.

No Shame. No Blame. No Names.

Save this post.

Talk about the law.

You might save a life.

THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY FORWARD.

If you're pregnant and unsure what to do, you don't have to face the decision alone.

Parenting may be an option.

Creating an adoption plan may be an option.

And when a newborn is in danger of being abandoned, Illinois Safe Haven provides a safe, legal alternative.

The goal is simple:

Keep the baby safe.

The Safe Haven Law is there for those moments when someone feels there is nowhere else to turn.

Knowing every safe option matters.

GRANDPARENTS CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE

SOMETIMES,
A GRANDPARENT
IS THE PERSON
WHO KNOWS.

A daughter.
A granddaughter.
A friend of the family.

Sometimes someone you love is facing an unexpected pregnancy or a situation that feels overwhelming.

You may not have all the answers.

But you can listen without judgment.
You can offer compassion.
And you can know about Illinois' Safe Haven Law.

An unharmed newborn 30 days old or younger may be safely relinquished at a designated Safe Haven.

No Shame. No Blame. No Names.

This Grandparents Day, give your family something more valuable than a gift:

The knowledge that a safe option exists.

KNOW THE LAW.
SHARE THE INFORMATION.
SAVE A LIFE.
