Why are people saying anything n.egative about these boxes. These are mothers that love their child enough to want better for them. We don't know their story and have no right to judge a decision they couldn't have made lightly. ♥

don't think it's that easy "walks away"....they are putting baby in a safe place....not left in a alley or dumpster. ...or worst yet a toilet.

It’s not abandonment. An alarm sounds immediately and the child can receive any necessary health and placement rather than abortion, death, etc.

It's better than the mother's dumping them in the trash or leaving them in a plastic bag in a park?!?! I don't get it at all ... Half of y'all don't like abortions and don't want the mother to drop it off at a fire station, so what exactly do you want?!?!

I wish they had done this with me.... I was always called an accident. They didn't even put my Name on the expensive embossed Christmas Cards.... It was like I didn't exist. .....Every Year...I hoped my Name would be one of their Family on the Christmas Cards....never.... Leaving me in one of these boxes would of given me a chance to be loved....

inside the orange bag is a lot of resources/documents educating the mother on the safe haven laws and how to cope with her decision. It looks flats with zero contents in the videos but it holds the same paper work that you can probably obtain from your local health department.

“Dump”? Come on! I have adopted a “SAFELY SURRENDERED” child. The best thing that birth parent did for her child was to know she couldn’t take care of her. She made a conscious and loving choice instead of worse options. My daughter will know her tummy mommy loved her so much that she wanted the best for her and she couldn’t do that because she was “sick”.

I don't know the statistics, but it seems that over the last few years there has been a terrible increase in the deaths of infants, toddlers and young children. Not by disease or accident, but by the hands of their own caregivers. Parents, parent and significant other, foster parents, have been charged with starving, beating, burning, strangling/suffocating and molesting the children before they died. Alabama's solution is the most merciful and safest way that any child could have, if the mother must give it up. Thank you, Alabama.

I don't like the way they say you can dump your baby or abandon the baby. The parent can surrender the baby she cannot provide at this time in her life for the baby. This is wonderful the baby is now safe and going to be cared for.

This is the best for the newborn and the mother. It is a lifesaving process and gives the newborn a chance at life rather than being discarded like trash.

I would not say dump or abandon, that's a terrible thing to say. The mother is making a choice to give her child a better life, she does not hurt the baby, but she's making a safe choice for the child. These should be all over the country, maybe there would be less murder, neglect and child abuse!

Layne Harris ABORTION OR SLAUGHTERING A BABY IN THE WOMB IS NOT HEALTH CARE CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE INNOCENT DEFENSELESS UNBORN CHILD HOW IS THIS HEALTH CARE HELPING The BABY? YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO OR ARE YOU THAT NAIVE. CALL IT WHAT IT IS KILLING YOUR BABY.

As sad as this is, these young mothers are placing their babies in a warm, dry place. once they close the door an alarm goes off inside the firehouse to let them know a baby has arrived.

Dump boxes is an awful term to use. These babies are being saved because they have a safe place where they can have a chance at life instead of being abandoned or killed.

Every state has these. Why would anyone say anything against these . Have you ever heard of a young girl having a baby and letting them die or they kill them. If a Birth mother just puts them in these there's no questions asked. They're free to walk away. They will not be stopped. There at every hospital and Fire Stations .
