#One SHBB has been installed in Arizona, while seven “shelves: were installed in the past and are not affiliated with SHBB. It is not known if any infants have been boxed in these seven boxes,
Occasionally, when SHBB Inc announces a case, it skips a number with no explanation; Currently, we have 58 cases with some type of documentation/verification or even SHBB Inc acknowlegement, but SHBB claims 63, including 41 in Indiana, while we have 32, which throws off SHBB Inc stats.. We are working on cataloging other cases,. and if we learn anything, we will add the information on the appropriate pages. See Descrepencies.Unknown page for more information.
