Several months after Montgomery Fire/Rescue installed the city's first Safe Haven Baby Box at Fire Station 10 the first baby surrender has been made.Â
An announcement on social media said that a newborn was surrendered last month.Â
"We are deeply grateful to the courageous mother who, in a time of crisis, made the difficult decision to seek help and ensure her child’s safety," said the announcement. "While her identity will remain completely anonymous, her decision represents love, bravery, and hope."
"This milestone shows why Safe Haven Baby Boxes are so important. They provide parents in crisis with a safe, compassionate option while giving children the chance to thrive in loving homes."
Safe Baby Boxes maintains a 24/7 hotline at 1-866-99BABY1 and a website at www.shbb.org.Â
