Safe Haven Baby Boxes is an organization that was founded by Monica Kelsey (an abandoned infant herself) and is geared towards giving mothers in crisis a chance to do the right thing with complete anonymity. Baby Boxes will be placed in Safe Haven locations and will allow a woman to surrender her newborn under the Safe Haven Law by placing her newborn in an electronically monitored Safe Haven Baby

Box. The Baby Boxes have 3 alarms that activate and a heating and cooling unit in them for extreme weather. With around 100 babies being abandoned every year and some of these babies being dropped off at the doors of fire stations and hospitals we have to extend the Safe Haven Law. These women are telling us that they want complete anonymity and Safe Haven Baby Boxes will ensure that this happens.

Update: The people who "found" the Omaha baby and took the baby to the fire station, were identified as the parents.

Edit: this is a safe surrender where complete anonymity was wanted but no baby box options are available in NE

Why this matters: these parents lied to protect their identity making the story initially an abandonment. When it was truly a legal, safe surrender. This proves parents want anonymity!!

“We had a mom that messaged us to give us a life update. A couple years prior she had surrendered in one of our boxes.

And in this life update letter, she says, "I'm finally at peace. " When we get those words sent to us, because of what we're doing to help, it just makes it so special for us, because we know that we're doing the right thing.”- Monica on helping birth mothers

Both mothers and fathers have the same rights.

Omaha's abandonment last week has many wondering how to change Nebraska's Safe Haven Law to allow for Safe Haven Baby Boxes. If you are in Nebraska, please share this case with your legislators!

Edit: since this now a revised reporting of a surrender by the parents, who did not want to be identified it makes the case even more for amending the existing law to allow for baby boxes. Complete anonymity is what these parents were seeking!
