Georgia

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.
