Indiana SB345

Monica Kelsey, Founder/ CEO of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Inc has backed away (with a cautionary stipulation) from a major provision of SB345 enacted in 2023. The provision authorized as an “option” the instant removal of a SH/SHBB baby from trad SH walk-in or box location into the private adoption spammer with no stop along the way. That is, allowed officials at SH/SBBB locations the “option” to transfer babies directly from their hands to a private adoption agency of their choice–without DCS knowledge of the drop-off–and within hours into the immediate loving arms of their “forever family”
