"Safe Haven Baby Boxes offer a compassionate and secure option for mothers in crisis who are unable to care for their newborns. Designed with innovative safety features and installed on the exterior walls of fire stations and hospitals, each box ensures the safe and anonymous surrender of infants. The exterior door locks automatically when a newborn is placed inside, and an interior door allows medical personnel to promptly and securely retrieve the baby, ensuring immediate care and protection. Safe Haven Baby Boxes are a vital resource, providing a lifeline for mothers and a safe beginning for their newborns." - Safe Haven Baby Boxes (SHBB)
If you’re unable to care for your newborn, Texas law allows you to safely and anonymously surrender your baby—no questions asked.

You are not alone. If you're facing an impossible decision, know that there are options that prioritize your safety, your baby’s safety, and your well-being. You are worthy of compassion, and there are resources available to help you through this difficult time.
