Supervisors Declare February “Safely Surrendered Baby Awareness Month”

The Board of Supervisors has proclaimed February “Safely Surrendered Baby Awareness Month” to bring attention to a law that allows mothers to give up their newborns within the first 72 hours of birth with no questions asked.

Since the law went into effect in 2006, 45 babies have been surrendered. Many have been adopted.
