Monica Kelsey, founder-CEO of Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc just solidified herself as the biggest, but perhaps most ignorant, opponent to the Adoptee Rights movement on the United States today
Safe Haven Baby Box “Surrenders” are “Closed Adoptions!’ Say What?
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
Should Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Change its Slogan from Safe Haven Baby Boxes: dangerous, unethical, anti-family, and anti-adoptee to…
“I think putting a baby in a box is completely unethical. To me, it’s a little disgusting. It’s like dropping off a urine sample.”
How Dare They! “Mothers of Loss (to Adoption)” Drops Shitbomb on SHBB Inc’s FB page. So Far, Gets Away with It
…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.
Baby Box Adoption Surrenders are Dignified?
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? And what kind of dignity does that baby have being ditched, possibly naked (sometimes with a placenta hanging on it or covered in God knows what) with maybe not even a blanket–and certainly no name or history?
No! Hundreds of Babies Have NOT Been “Saved” in Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Indiana
MEOW!!!!! Even disregarding the disputable “saved” narrative, the idea of hundreds of Indiana babies captured by Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc is an out-of-and-out lie that demands retraction.
Jasper, Alabama: Baby Box Needed for Homeless Moms
Several times a month I read Safe Haven Baby Box proponents declare in the news that boxes and anonymous legal abandonment are needed by “the homeless.” What the hell? Is baby abandonment –and yes, that is exactly what safe haven baby boxes promote despite the nicey-nice claim that it’s not abandonment since boxed babies are “placed into ‘loving hands'” or some such drivel–a boostrap for the homeless? I think not. It’s a boot in the head.
Is Normal Adoption Relinquishment Legal in Texas?
Two weeks ago I wrote a short piece about confusing headlines (and news stories) that suggest to the uninformed that traditional safe haven laws and baby boxes are the only way a parent can relinquish a child for adoption…We got the same rubbish during today’s baby box blessing in Lubbock, Texas.
Misleading Headlines about Safe Haven Laws
To make it worse, the article fails to mention normal adoption practices, as if safe haven abandonment is the only way adoptions can be done.
If I Were a Drinking Cat…Albion, Indiana Safe Haven Baby Box Wackery
Apparently, until April 16, 2024, those in “crisis” pregnancy or birth situations in Albion found themselves in a social services desert where public and private social and legal services, such as housing assistance, baby and mother assistance, Medicaid, WIC, SNAP, and mental health and family counseling — including family preservation options and genuine adoption planning– didn’t exist. Where the only remedy for an inconvenient baby was ditch–dumping and neonaticide.
