WARNING! This Safe Haven Baby Box Inc Video Can Kill!

By 2 Comments

Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc runs a deeply dangerous video on its website,* YouTube, and other platforms. This video can kill your daughter, your sister, your best friend, your neighbor- -even you.

This video targets teen girls–but ultimately all women– teaching them it is OK to conceal a pregnancy and medically unassisted birth (apparently nearly stress- and mess- free) and then dispose of the evidence by popping the baby in the company’s magic box-in-the-wall-baby- erasing machine. You can walk away safe, healthy and carefree. No one will ever know you had this baby

By

Of all the misinformation prevarications, and out-and-out lies that SHBB Inc has propagated about adoption and baby abandonment boxes over the years, the idea that baby boxng is simply a “closed adoption” plan is the greatest. It tells pregnant women and new mothers concerned with adoption privacy issues, as well as the uninformed public, that boxing a baby is a traditional and normal adoption plan

By

…now comes the wonderfully blatant shitbomb dropped by Mothers of Loss (to adoption) a few hours ago, politely camouflaged as a question we all know the answer to. So far it has passed the resident SHBB Inc FB censor. (The SHBB Inc reality show verifies that a staff member vets comments for negativity. ) Maybe she is off on a Thanksgiving holiday.

By

What in the world is “dignified” for a mother sneaking around in the middle of the night and sticking a secret baby into a hidy-hole at the fire station and running off?

Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc Reminds Us Again: Adoptees Don’t Matter. A Disjointed Diatribe

By 5 Comments

In other words, (we already know this!) boxed babies, and by extension, adopted people, aren’t part of the Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc equation and plan other than to serve as window dressing. We are things to be dealt with, to be fixed, to be objectified and fetishized, and then shuffled off to Buffalo reborn invisible and silent. The baby box gangbangers clearly put a lot of work into making us look irrelevant
