Mirror Indy Investigates Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc
Mirror Indy, a city paper in Indianapolis, just published a good piece on Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Inc, The Growing Backlash to Indiana’s Baby Box Empire. The title alone tells you what to expect. And I expect that while I was doing the proverbial jump for joy this morning, Monica Kelsey, CEO of SHBB Inc, was getting a big case of indigestion.
Action Alert: Georgia HB350. Safe Haven Baby Box Hearing, (submitted) February 20, 2026
The promotion and use of Safe Haven Baby Boxes is anti-adoptee, anti-adoption, anti-family, dangerous, and unethical. Boxes are a danger to the physical and mental/emotional health of mother and child. Abandonment boxes are a slap in the face of every parent who has followed normal child relinquishment procedures. The boxes are a slap in the face of the 6 million adopted people in the United States today, who unlike Georgia adoptees, are subjected to archaic and discriminatory adoption secrecy laws such as sealed birth and court records. They are a slap in the face of adopted people everywhere in the US who view Georgia as an ally in the battle for equality.

Georgia: Do Baby Boxers Actually Care About Moms?
Baby boxing accomplishes nothing but adding another layer of neglect and institutional abuse to the real lives of real girls and women. How does sending mothers back to where large complex problems caused the anonymous abandonment to begin with still exist, improve their lives? Baby boxing simply adds another layer of shame, neglect, and personal and institutional abuse to their lives.
Big Box Grants for Safe Haven Baby Boxes– $3/4 million
In the last few months, Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Inc has received 2 whopping grants–one direct, the other indirect–to fund its baby erasure scheme. It’s not surprising that the non-profit corporation has not announced these grants publicly. If prospective donors saw the big bucks flowing into its big, beautiful money bag,* they might put their dollars into something more helpful, like family preservation projects and support for pregnant women, mothers, and babies in need of material and social assistance, instead of shoving them into the multi-billion-dollar adoption mill.
