The objectification and commodification of Boxed Babies is one of our numerous objections (and here) to baby boxes. Critically, objectification and commodification are key elements SHBB Inc survival–finances. The corporation over the last 8+ years, has posted dozens of happy (and not so happy) looking babies and toddlers and their adoptive parents to encourage “desperate mothers” to use its services, and more importantly, to normalize baby boxing to the public. In turn, the photo-ops, press conferences, banquets, and special interest stories fill their coffers and feed the adoption industry’s bloody maw.
NAM/NAAM Day 25: Safe Haven Baby Box Leader Loses Her Mind
Despite what the video implies, I can’t think of anything Mrs. Kelsey has that I want . (I lied. I’d not mind her and the Mr.’ s combined near $200k salary). I am certainly not jealous of what “she has.” Her proposed “family compound” makes me think of Waco. AdoptionLand holds nothing but disdain and disgust for her baby abandonment project, and her contempt of us, our rights, the rights of the babies she “saves,” the biofamilies she dismisses, the adoption mills whose doors she doorstops open, and the closets she wants to shove us in.
NAM/NAAM Day 17, 2025. The Baby Box Questions that Safe Haven Baby Box Inc CEO Monica Kelsey Ran Away from in Hamilton, Ohio
Below is the list of questions political watchdog Chris Hicks attempted to ask SHBB Inc CEO/Founder Monica Kelsey at last week’s baby box opening in Hamilton, Ohio. Instead of being professional and answering them or politely declining, she called for Security and ran away. Each question is reasonable and something that a member of any legislature might ask–and in some cases has asked. Did she run out of the hearing room? Call for the state patrol?
NAM/NAAM Day 16. Weirdo Facebook Convo about Adoption and Safe Haven Practices. Adopt a Fetus
The Adoption-Safe Haven Baby Box thread caught my eye, bringing a new insanity to Safe Haven discourse. ” Adoption. Pro-Life will often say that there is no difference between a human life that is born and a life that is unborn. So if those that are born can be adopted, let the unborn be adopted as well.”
NAM/NAAM Day 12: Monica Kelsey and SHBB Inc Gets Drop-Kicked at Hamilton, Ohio Baby Box Opening
I will report more on this event in a couple of days. Things to deconstruct. But for now, I am laying this out as is. Ohio baby abandonment box opponent Chris Hicks did a spectacular job of running SHBB Inc into the ground at the opening of the Hamilton, Ohio, box on Tuesday (November 11). […]
NAM/NAAM Day 8: My Poem In Response to Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc’s Weird Meme
She stands in a field
framed in soft focus
Hallmark placidity.
Gauzed, Shadowed.
An ideal that everyone knows
does not exist except in
art or advertisement
NAM/NAAM Day 6: Are Safe Haven Baby Boxes Patriotic? Another Meme
Mrs Kelsey says that one of her team came up with meme, not her. Fair enough! But I am sure that it warmed the cockles of her Benedict Bastard heart. In this era of toxic American nationalism, the meme message fits right in: Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc–and Mrs Kelsey–are patriotic. Sticking your baby in a box-in-a-wall is patriotic. Adoption is patriotic.
NAM/NAAM Day 4: Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc Admits It Doesn’t Know Why Their Boxes Are Used–and Don’t Care
Newborn discard is rooted in economic disparity, race, class, misogyny, social dysfunction, and shame. Modern decent societies attempt to address these problems. The US sweeps them into the dustbin of liberal” wokeness” and irrelevance and blames the victim. “Not our problem.” As does SHBB Inc
NAM/NAAM Day 3 SHBB Inc Founder/CEO Takes a Trumpy Narcissistic Turn South
The Trumpyesque meme below was posted on SHBB social media sometime back, and illustrates perfectly bell hooks’ astute observation about the person becoming the product. That is, Mrs Kelsey makes her “baby saving” movement about herself. Look at me!
