Bella Estates Dumpster Case Still Unsolved

The case of the infant found abandoned in a Bella Estates Apartments dumpster has still not been solved at the time of this article.  We have high hopes that the culprit will soon be found. This article also reviews some other abandonments in the area.  One of these other cases is particularly gruesome.  You can […]

Billings Mother Faces No Charges for Abandonment

This article made me angry.  A child was dropped off at a hospital in Billings and the mother will not face charges for abandonment, but I do not think she should be off the hook so easily. She left the child in a bathroom by himself.  Hospital workers determined that the infant could not have […]

Baby Found in Church Lot Still Needs Justice

It has been over a month since the baby was found abandoned at a Schaumburg church.  If you recall, the baby was found in a bag in the parking lot covered by a towel and teddy bear.  A staff member moved the bag inside to see if anyone would claim it.  Only her cries saved […]

Baby Abandoned in Church Lot

Just a few weeks ago, a shopping bag was discovered in a church parking lot.  The bag was brought in by a church staff member who set it by the door hoping whoever left it would find it there.  This bag would have stayed there overnight had something incredible not happened:  a baby started crying […]

Safe Haven Saves Lives

This is a short little article, but I decided it would be nice to include anyway.  It also has a short video on a recent story.  We do not post videos very often, so this might be a little treat.  Please let us know if you have any thoughts for us on this or any […]

Baby Mary Louise is Remembered

Colorado residents probably remember baby Mary Louise.  Although Safe Haven laws had been passed in Colorado the year before, her abandonment still occurred and many local residents will forever remember her. A religious service was held to remind everyone that safe havens still exist and there are options out there for pregnant women unable or […]

Tom Osborne Speaks Out on Poverty

Today’s article first got my attention because it is on Tom Osborne.  I grew up in Nebraska, am a forever Husker football fan, and Osborne is one of my long-time heroes.  This article demonstrates once again what an amazing man he is. One point that got my attention is the mention that impoverished families are […]

10th Anniversary Safe Surrender LA

This first article is heart-warming.  It is exactly the kind of article I wish so much that I could report on every day. It reports on the 10th anniversary celebration of the Safe Surrender program in Los Angeles.  Many families with children adopted because of the program were in attendance and there were many smiles […]

Responsible Adult Utilizes Safe Haven

Another victory for Safe Haven! Although this sort of story may not be as interesting as the tragic ones, I absolutely prefer to report on stories where the system has worked.  The parent who dropped her baby off at a local fire station in this article did an excellent job.  The child was within the […]

No Shame in Safe Haven

Today’s article reflects on the two recent tragedies in Hendersonville: the Bi-Lo incident and the murder of the newborn twins, both previously reported on here at One By One Safe Haven. Again, there is one part of the article I would like to highlight.  It mentions that Safe Haven protects babies and secrets.  This is […]
