What Is a Safe Haven Baby Box?
With over 200 locations in the U.S., you may have heard of Safe Haven Baby Boxes but are confused as to how they work. These boxes are for parents or guardians who want to legally and anonymously surrender their baby that is unharmed and less than 30 days old. Once the baby is surrendered, three silent alarms will go off to notify the staff.
The child is usually picked up in two to three minutes, and the door on the outside is immediately locked to protect the baby. The box is temperature-controlled and heated to protect the baby. Recently, Safe Haven Baby Boxes have made their way into the news again as women turn to this option thinking it’s their only choice.
But there is another option out there that offers more benefits than Safe Haven Baby Boxes.
Why Do Women Choose Safe Haven Baby Boxes?
There are many reasons why someone may choose to safely surrender a baby instead of choosing adoption. Maybe you’re scared that making an adoption plan means that you have to disclose your identity or are afraid that your information may be shared by others.
Whatever reason it may be, you can provide your baby with better opportunities by choosing adoption. When you work with us, we’ll be there for you every step of the way to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. Choosing adoption means:
- Your identity can be kept secret.
- You can be involved as little or as much as you’d like.
- You can choose the perfect family for your baby.
- You can get financial support along the way.
- You can have a brighter future.
Adoption Agencies vs. Safe Haven Baby Boxes: Which Option Is Best?
We know that surrendering your child isn’t easy, and if you’re considering using a Safe Haven Baby Box because you feel like you don’t have a choice, we want to reassure you that this isn’t the case. Adoption will always be an option.
Adoption is a way for you to take back control of your life to create a brighter future for you and your child. From the moment you decide to pursue adoption, you’re in charge of determining how your journey goes. You’ll be able to choose things like:
- The type of family you want for your baby
- Whether you want to be anonymous during the adoption
- How much contact you want with the family and your baby during and after the adoption
- And much more.
The beauty about adoption is that you won’t have to pay for any aspect of the process. Any services or support you receive from us will always be 100% free. On top of that, you’ll also receive financial assistance during the adoption to cover any living and medical expenses.
While using a Safe Haven Baby Box can be done legally, safely and anonymously, making an adoption plan with us can also offer those things, with added benefits and peace of mind. We know that you’re going through a hard time right now and probably have a lot of questions.
