20-yrs ago the first Safe Haven laws passed allowing a woman to walk away from her baby. Anonymously. Laws vary state-to-state but hospitals are always approved surrender locations. Air1's Monika Kelly talks with exec dir. of The Hope Box, Sarah Keoppen and Heather Burner, exec dir of the National Safe Haven Alliance. They usually find these parents scared and desperate to secure a better life for their child.
