‘At noon on Thursday, a crowd gathered outside the Wapakoneta Fire Department, their eyes looking at the small but powerful addition to the building: the new Safe Haven Baby Box,” according to a local news report. “With one simple cut of the red ribbon, Wapakoneta became a place where a desperate mother might find hope, and a newborn could be given a second chance at life.”

Just gave birth secretly in your apartment? Don’t know what to do next? There may be a safe-haven baby box near you where you can leave your baby, no questions asked.
