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 […]

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.
