Media praises Safe Haven Law in recent abandonment

This is what I heard in my car this evening on a local radio talk show. The host was bashing the media, bashing the mom and bashing the law saying that we should hold our moms to a higher standard… that they needed to stick around and give medical information and see the child into a new home, basically be a part of the process. To that, I say, “Yeah, that’s called adoption you idiot.”
The Safe Haven Law is a measure to protect babies. It is a safe alternative for mothers who, for whatever reason, need to give up their baby immediately. This law is to protect babies from the unthinkable, to give them a second chance and in my opinion, is a blessing in and of itself.
It is true that this is an unfortunate circumstance and yes, the reality here is very sad, but thankfully it’s not the end to this baby’s story.
