A second Safe Haven Baby Box has been installed at the Crichton fire station in Mobile, Alabama, providing a safe and legal option for parents facing the difficult decision of surrendering their newborn. These boxes allow parents to anonymously drop off infants up to 45 days old, ensuring their safety and avoiding tragic situations like the discovery of a dead newborn in a dumpster in Memphis. The initiative aims to offer hope and support to mothers who may feel overwhelmed and unable to care for their child.

Parents who don’t think they can care for their newborn that’s 45 days old or younger, now have a climate controlled place to drop them off. No questions asked. Kelsey was in Mobile for the ceremony.
